Debug Flash UI hosted in InDesign

Hi all,
I don`t if this is the correct location for this thread...
Does anybody know how to debug a flash UI hosted in InDesign CS4 with Flex Builder?
Thanks in advance.
Alvaro.

Carl,
You are right. For an unknown reason, the debug version replaces the release version, whatever the installation order. If I install the debug after the release, or the contrary, the result is the same. Is this not a bug?
Is there a workaround for me to have the two versions installed simultaneously? Could I replace the path in PCD?

How can I make an ant file that launches an AS project app in a debug flash player that traces to the flex console?

How can I make an ant file that launches an AS project app in a debug flash player that traces to the flex console?
Basically I like the control over the compiling process that I get by using Ant - but I really want traces to come up immediately without having to switch contexts.
I have an ant file that successfully launches a swf in the flashplayer - but I don't know how to make the flex console start displaying the trace output. I assume that I will have to point it to the appropriate trace output file - but I am not sure how to have ant even address the console. Is this possible?
Here is the the target node from my ANT file:
    <target name="launch">
        <exec executable="${FLASHPLAYER_EXE}" errorproperty="trace.output">
            <arg line="'${DEPLOY_DIR}\test.swf'" />
        </exec>
    </target>
Thanks for any thoughts, or alternatives!

For the record, I ended up using Logwatcher - it worked perfectly.

I installed CS3 Design premium upgrade yesterday onto my new mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. You gave me a new serial number. I have been able to open Photoshop, Bridge, Dreamweaver and Flash. The Illustrator, Indesign and Acrobat applications are not in my applications folder although there are folders in there with those names containing associated items. How can this have happened and what can I do?

How to put Flash video game onto inDesign PDF file and Website page or link?!

I am making a video game using Adobe Flash 2.0. I need to be able to show what I have through a website (my portfolio) and/or insert it into an interactive Indesign PDF file. The game needs to be able to be played and be used and tested by whoever I send the pdf file to, or whoever is would be view my the site I post it on. I have attempted many different ways to put my game onto my website (cargocollective) and Indesign, but nothing is working! I need help.
For example I need my game to be placed on the website page, and on the pdf document as an image. When it is clicked on I need it to start so people can play the game. I don't know how to do this and I would really love and need to know how! Thanks.

Flash should be able to publish an html page which will provide the web page code needed for embedding the swf. The page it publishes should be sufficient for planting on a server unless you plan to dress it up with other content as well.
As far as incorporating Flash content into a PDF using InDesign goes, you are best to ask questions about using InDesign in the InDesign forum. Here is a link to the Overview page whee you can pick which forum applies best to your situation:

Dreamweaver / Flash CS3 Host Server problem

I've created my flash inserted it into dreamweaver, previewed it and uploaded the pages and the JS files to my host server again and again and it everything shows up but the flash, nothing, not even a box. Any ideas on what the problem could be? They show up in the root directory on the server. the file I used was the SWF. file. Is there another way to do this?
I've tried moving the js. script around (someone said put it inside a file named "script". that didn't work either.

Hi,
I suggest posting this question in the "Dreamweaver General Discussion" forums, as it´s not related to the Dreamweaver Developer Toolbox

How to debug flash remoting?

Hi I am using - flashremoting.jar 1.0.52502 on tomcat.
I have a 3 year old application that is running on 1 server, it works fine there, the flash client can connect to the java tomcat server and call methods and all is well.
We are trying to stand this application up on another server, and I cant get the flash remoting to work, the server side java methods never get called (I added logging to them).
In the adobe troubleshooting it says to go to /gateway and you should get a blank page.
The weird thing is on both the server that works and the server that doesnt work, if I go there in a browser I get:
HTTP Status 404 - /flashservices/index.html
This is the same for both servers. So im not sure what to try next. Im not an expert in flash my flash guy says the client gets: "Error opening URL"
The url in the flashvars looks good, the flashgateway.jar file is in the web-inf/lib folder , the frconfig.txt is in web-inf/classes
my web.xml has this:
<servlet>
        <servlet-name>FlashGatewayServlet</servlet-name>
        <display-name>Flash Remoting Servlet</display-name>
        <description>
            Servlet-based plugin to Flash Remoting
        </description>
        <servlet-class>
            flashgateway.controller.GatewayServlet
        </servlet-class>
        <load-on-startup>10</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>FlashGatewayServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/gateway</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
what can I check next, how can I troubleshoot this and figure out if its a client problem or a server problem, or somewhere in the middle?
thanks

I got on line with tech support to get them to show me how to use it. The guy hardly knew anything about it himself. From the coldfusion group and was the guy who was supposed to know. I screen shared with him and every time we tried debugging from flex it would just stop. Seems that if something goes wrong in a coldfusion library, the debugger just stops and so it is something upsteam of your break point. Of course there is nothing to show you that, but it became clear. The guy didn't have any better idea than I did what was going on. I figured that out.
If you check the docs about CF and flex, their recommendation is write it all as a CF app. debug it and then hook flex to it. Pure garbage. Anybody hear of DRY. I have dumped ever using CF on the back end. It is not an oop language. It is a tag based language for markup pages with quasi script and its ORM is so inflexible its a joke.
Went back to ruby on rails and rubyamf for my backend to flex apps (with Mate as MVC framework) and I could not be happier. Never had such an unpleasant develpment experience than working with Coldfusion as the backend to a flex app. Good luck.

Debug Flash Player Location

I have looked everywhere but I cannot find the error log file for the debug version of the flash player. I am running windows 7 in parallels
Areas I have checked
C:\Users\curtisshmigelsky\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player (supposed to be a log file location here)
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
Any ideas on this would be awesome.

I would like to raise a discussion again because new version of Vizzy Flash Traces has been released recently. Among the new cool features and improvements I would like to point out couple of them.
The first one is possiblity to double click stack trace exceptions which will lead you to the source file being opened (and a proper line highlighted in case your AS editor supports that. FlashDevelop users already have).Don't want to double click? Move the mouse over the stack trace and you will get a popup with a piece of source code in that place.
Also, all http and file:/// links are clickable. No code modifications is required or some sort of other tweaks.
Another cool feature requires some tiny code modifications, but this is worth of it. Replace all 'trace' statements with 'trc' in your code and you will be able to open corresponding source file that contains that trace statement with double click! Of course, you will have to link a swc to your project.
P.S. and yes, mac users finally got a native executable

Adobe debug flash-player 10 needs newer glibc on Ubuntu Karmic

Hi all, I'm trying to install the latest debug flashplayer available here:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/f...nux_dev.tar.gz linked from this page
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html I follow the embedded instructions and this is the error:
root@vostro-ubuntu:~# /home/berrie/work/download/install_flash_player_10_linux/flashplayer-installer
[: 258: closing paren expected ERROR: Your glibc library is older than 2.3.

The check_glibc() function leaves a bit to be desired:
# check glibc
check_glibc () {
ICONV=`iconv --version | sed -e '2,$d'`
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
    echo "no-iconv"
else
    ICONVVER=`echo "$ICONV" | awk '{print $4}'`
    GLIBCMAJOR=`echo $ICONVVER | cut -d'.' -f1`
    GLIBCMINOR=`echo $ICONVVER | cut -d'.' -f2`
    if [ $ $GLIBCMAJOR -ge $MIN_GLIBCMAJOR $ -a $ $GLIBCMINOR -ge $MIN_GLIBCMINOR $ ]; then
      echo "valid-glibc"
    else
      echo "invalid-glibc"
    fi
fi
First of all '{print $4}' needs to change to '{print $3}' to make it work for now. Once glibc 3.0 hits the shelves you have even bigger problems as according to this snippet both major and minor version numbers need to be bigger than their corresponding minimal numbers. So 3.0 isn't newer than 2.3 according to this code.
The correct pseudo code would be:
if ( (MAJOR > MIN_MAJOR) || (MAJOR == MIN_MAJOR && MINOR >= MIN_MINOR) ) then version is ok

I contacted the folks who make RIATest, and they did their best to debug the problem. Their conclusion is:
"The stack trace that you posted shows that ApplicationAutomationImpl/getAutomationChildren calls ApplicationDomain/getDefinition on line 266 and the call fails with an error. This most likely indicates a bug in ApplicationAutomationImpl."
This problem never occurred when we were compiling our code using SDK 3.4.1. What can I do to work around this and continue performing automated tests of our Flash applications?

Try linking a Scroller into your app.

How to debug flash player crashes?

Hello there
I'm building this game with flash...when I test and debug my
project from flash it works fine but when playing the game in a
browser, it crashes very often...after a couple seconds/minutes of
play. I installed the latest flash player and tried on a couple
computers with no luck...so how can I know what's crashing? or how
can I have more info on why it crashes? what kind of debug tool can
I use when flash player crashes within the browser. it's really
hard to know what the problem is.
Thanks for the answers if any :)
Marco

Browser crashes caused by the Flash Player is the stuff of
nightmares, it's nearly impossible to debug. In fact, I think
kglads advice about flashtracer is the best news I've seen on the
subject (I didn't know about flashtracer -- thanks kglad).
What player build do you have in IE? What is it in FireFox?
You can check the exact build here:
http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/
Can you provide a link to the crashing SWF? Does it crash
both IE and FF?

Debug Flash Player

I am very new to Flex development and have had no luck trying
to install the ActiveX flash player. I believe that I am supposed
to use the one that was supplied with Flex Builder 3 found in
<install location>/Player/win. From what I have garnered from
tutorials, it seems that I should install the Flash Player 9 for
debugging. Is this correct?
I get the following error when trying to install the debug
version of the Flash Player for IE (the ActiveX file):
"The version of Adobe Flash Player ActiveX that you are
trying to install is not the most current version. Please visit
http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
to obtain the latest, most secure version."
It was my understanding that to do debugging correctly, I
should be using the older flash player. Is this not correct? How do
I get past this setting if I need to install the older player? It
seems the Microsoft will not let me install an older player, even
when I want to. Help!

Get your Flash Player 10 from this link:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
And download and install the file from under the "Adobe Flash
Player 10 — Debugger Versions (aka debug players or content
debuggers)" section of the page.
Or, for IE's (ActiveX) Flash Player 10 Debuggers, just use

Flickery Display with Debug Flash Player 10,3,181,34 and IE9

Hello,
I hope this is the right forum for this, it's kind of a combination of a Flash Player issue and maybe a programming issue.
Anyway, I've been making this project that has an image move based on where the mouse cursor is (in Flex Builder 3). The problem is, that with the debug version of the flash player, the image flickers as it moves, that is, it draws the background color and then the image very noticeably. However, in a non-debug player it looks just fine. What I'm hoping is that there's some way to tell the player not to act like a debug version at all, though I assume that's not possible. Does anyone know how I can make it not flicker like that?
Note that I'm using Windows 7 64-bit.
Thanks,
Shaun
