2.5 SDK getting started: air.trace() not working

I don't know where to turn. I´ve followed the steps on this tutorial and air.trace doesn't work.
I'm using Windows Vista and the command prompt to run the debugger. It starts the app but air.trace sends nothing to the command window.
I've tried running cmd with admin privileges with no results. If I make a javascript alert {{  alert(air.trace)  }} it correctly says it's a function and testing a basic send-something-to-clipboard snippet works fine.
Here's my code:
<html>
<head>
    <title>Hello World</title>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="air/AIRAliases.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function init(){
          // this works
       var copy = "A string to copy to the system clipboard.";
       air.Clipboard.generalClipboard.clear();
       air.Clipboard.generalClipboard.setData(air.ClipboardFormats.TEXT_FORMAT, copy);
          // this doesn't
          air.trace("anybody there?");
    </script>
</head>
<body onLoad="init()">
    <h1>hello world?</h1>
</body>
</html>
Any ideas?

Hi all,
I'm running Vista, and using the command prompt but don't get any messages from air.trace().  I'm using AIRSDK 2.5 and call my hello world application from the command prompt with " adl HelloWorld-app.xml "  I get a window of correct dimensions with " Hello World " as expected, but no console message.  What am I doing wrong please?  I've been looking for about 2 hours now at how to get the air.trace messages but neither those nor the introspector statements work.
Thank you,
James

  • Air.trace() not working

    Hi all,
    Someone had a similar problem here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/750219?tstart=0  They managed to solve it, I started adding to post but thought it best to start a brand new post.
    I've tried what they've suggested and made a file called mm.cfg in my %HomeDrive%%HomePath% directory (c:\users\james) the contents of which are:
         ErrorReportingEnable=1
         TraceOutputFileEnable=1
         TraceOutputFileName=c:\logs\flashlogs.txt
         MaxWarnings=50
    but I still don't get a log file from air.trace().  Though in C:\Users\James\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player  there's a file flashlog.txt with:
         Warning: Not a known player download type, app:/HelloWorld.html
    I'm running Vista and I'm using AIRSDK 2.5.  I call my hello world  application from the command prompt with " adl HelloWorld-app.xml "  I  get a window of correct dimensions with " Hello World!

  • Html App: air.trace() not outputting to console... are Adobe still supporting html apps in AIR?

    Hi
    Just getting up and running
    Mac OS X 10.9. Adoe AIR 3.9. All working fine except air.trace() not outputting anything to the console.
    Bit of googling meant I created a mm.config in ~ with the line:
    ErrorReportingEnable=1
    but still no joy.
    Any other tips for getting this to work or is it just now broken and/or unsupported?
    Are HTML apps wrapped in AIR now legacy technology?

    I have the same question... I've been trying to get an Adobe AIR HTML app going, but there appears to be no IDE that supports debugging an HTML/JS AIR App, and fdb, which is supposed to be able to debug HTML/JS AIR apps, does not.
    Is HTML/JS still a supported way of developing Adobe AIR apps?  If so, then why aren't issues like this getting some attention?

  • The select/start button is not working on my Vita?

    as title, anybody face the problems???
    actually, my vita (wifi) freezed last week, PS button blue light, cannot shut down.
    after hold down power button, enter to Safe Mode, and done everything (restore, restart, rebuild, format m.card).
    now, PS button alive, working, but select / start button still not working!!
    HELP HELP HELP.......

    Here Is the Solution see on pictures This Fault Is Caused With Shorted Right Top Button When This shows conductivity few ohm this interfere with the signal line on the pcb.to test it disconnect this button from the socket by lifting up the small lock on amphenol socket.measure the 2 tracks on the foil if its conductive.in most cases will be leave it disconnected turn on the psp vita with some games and test if the start button respond 99% it will be working ok.if yesthen turn off the unit disconnect the main battery to avoid shortage to the motherboard.peel gently off the top right button and replace with new oneiff you cannot get parts then separate the 2 foil and clean the ferrite pad's.cut a thin foil with 2 hole same size as the button conductive pad's this will create bigger gap between these conductive touch pad's and the foil. Warning !!! This guide is for advanced component level engineers not for beginners require esd protection.  

  • Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?

  • Windows 8.1 - Upgrade from 8, Start Button Does Not Work

    I cannot find a fix for my 8.1 start button.
    It works when I move the task bar to the top, right or left but not at the bottom. I ran all windows updates and there are no missing/unknown drivers in device manager. No errors in the event log. I've restarted multiple times and created a new local profile.
    I've also tried: 
    Copy WinX folder under C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows into C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows.
    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
    Any ideas? I would prefer not to do a clean install. Thanks in advance.

    Could you please describe a little more detailed about “Start Button does not work”? What is the symptom?
    Yes, when the taskbar is at the bottom of the screen, I cannot left click on the start button. The machine is also a touch-screen, which does work when I touch the start button. If I move the task bar to the left, right or top; the start button does work.
    And what is the kind of the account, Domain? Local? Or both?
    This is local machine.
    It still doesn’t work in a new account?
    Same issue happens with a new account.
    What happens if you use win + "X"?
    Win + "X" works fine; displays options.
    Regarding to the “doesn’t work, both for screen touch and mouse?
    Left-click via the mouse does not work. Touch works fine.
    Can you try to copy the WinX folder from a working PC to your PC for a test?
    I do not have another Windows 8.1 machine available to me.

  • I am getting frustrated with Apple not working with Flash player on some of my favorite web sites. Is there any alternative that will work on I-pad instead of flash?

    I am getting frustrated with Apple not working with Flash Player on some of my favorite web sites! Is there another alternative to watching these site options on my I-pad?

    Flash is not, and probably never will be, supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Plus it would be up to Adobe to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices - something which they have never managed to do and which they have now given up on trying to do.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so your could try checking there for your sites (and there is the built-in YouTube app).

    Liquid spills, why your MacBook chassis is a one-way valve for spills
    After a substantial spill many people will turn their notebook upside down and shake it, not only does this not work, but it spreads liquid havoc throughout your machine and makes things often as bad as possible.
    The keyboard itself acts like a one way valve in the case of a substantial liquid spill. While liquid pours into the bottom chassis easy, it does not come out easily at all, and in the case of any spill, most of it will not come out by turning it upside down. Disconnect all power and contact Apple for diagnostics and repair.
    Do not attempt to, after a spill, ‘dry out your MacBook’ and test it
    After a spill most people invariably try to “dry out” their notebook by various methods, including hair dryers and otherwise. This both does not work, and after a substantial spill of any magnitude, even if the liquid was water, residue is left behind.
    There are additionally many very tight places inside your notebook where liquids will linger for a very long time, and cause corrosion or worse.
    Immediately unplug your notebook and contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and parts replacement.
    In the case of very minor spills people will “dry out” their notebook and feel success that their notebook is working ok, however invariably in nearly all instances after 4-14 days an error / fault pops up and is usually followed by more.
    In case of a spill, damage estimates are impossible,.....anything can be fixed, without question.......the question is cost.
    contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and cost estimation ....possible parts replacement.

  • Air.trace not tracing anything (HTML/JS)?

    i am starting flash and learning from a tutorial. so i have my HTML like:
    <html>
    <head>
    <script src="AIRAliases.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function loadHandler() {
        air.trace("Message");
    </script>
    </head>
    <body onload="loadHandler()">
    <p>Hello World</p>
    </body>
    </html>
    the program runs but nothing is traced in the cmd. AIRAliases.js exists btw. i ran
    adl HelloWorld.xml
    my descriptor file

    It works in my end.
    What if you use window.runtime.trace directly, instead of air? Does it work?

    Hi, this may be something obvious but after installing adobe

    thanks

    Hi Trigon_15
    Same thing happend to me, suddenly trace stopt working, some sort of bug i believe
    how it occured i don't know, if added a new SDK, all worked perfect, 2 days later, it just
    stopped tracing.
    How i solved it?
    i've added the compiler argument (-compiler.debug=true) to the Compiler options of the project.
    In my case it's tracing again
    Hopes it will help you to!
