Flex Debugger Error (fdb)

Hi All,
I've been trying to run the flex3 SDK command line debugger
with no success (a frozen cmd prompt on one attempt). I'm running
this by double-clicking on the fdb file, and typing '
RUN
path to my debug swf'.
The error message it's returning makes little sense to me:
Cannot run program "C:\swishsoft\Swift Optimizer\swiftplayer.exe
%1": CreateProcess error=3, The system cannot find the path
specified'
A while back I installed Swift Optimizer on my system, but
deleted it quickly as, frankly, it sucks big time. Just seems
strange that the Flex debugger has mentioned this file (unless
Swift Optimizer has changed something, somewhere that fdb is
reading?).
Can anybody shed any light on this oddity, or - more likely -
what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!!

Okay, figured out a solution to this fdb issue:
Swishsoft, with their useless swf optimizer, make 3
significant changes to your computer's registry, indicating that
their useless swf optimizer is the default JAR Launcher, creating
conflicts with fdb's attempts to launch your debug swf file.
I deleted all 3 entries in the registry (2 of them reverted
back to their default state), and now fdb works as it was designed
to. Problem solved :)
NOTE: Modifying your computer's registry could render your
computer kaput. Tinker carefully ;)

Flex Debugger Error

I'm getting the following ActionScript error when clicking a
button that triggers a handler function, but only in debug mode.
Running the application without the debugger works fine, with
no Actionscript error.
ActionScript Error

I can't seem to set a breakpoint before the error occurs when
pressing the button.

hi,
you will need to insstall flash player 10 debug version.You are facing
this problem because current version of flash player installed on your
system is not The Debug version . If you have the debug version then you
browser cant find it .so solution will be to install flash player for both
IE and firefox and check which one of them has debug version working.
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
download the debug version according to your requirement . this page
contains both debug versions for netscape and IE so should install both of
them if in case you need to switch for testing to different browser.Altough
your problem can also be solved by selecting different default browser from
flex builder in which debug version is installed and working.

Launching the Flex debugger from ant

I use an ant target like this:
 <target name="launch">
 <echo>LAUNCH</echo>
 <exec executable="${FLASHPLAYER_EXE}" errorproperty="trace.output">
 <arg line="'${DEPLOY_DIR}\SellersApp.swf'" />
 </exec>
 </target>
to launch a swf in the debug flash player.
I would like to launch the Flex debugger and make use of break points etc. I tried replacing FLASHPLAYER_EXE with the path to Flex, but that tried to launch a new instance of Flex. I looked at the Ant manual but could not work out how to address the running instance of Flex that launched Ant.
I have been using the Builder configuration method used here:
http://www.rozengain.com/blog/2008/04/24/flex-builder-ant-build-debug-console-output/
But then I run into problems when I just try and run an Ant target independently - it insists on proceeding with the whole launch operation first.
I posted a variation on the question here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/578171 but I think I named it poorly and put it in the wrong forum - so apologies for cross posting.

Unless Eclipse's debug/launch infrastructure is exposed to ant, I'm not sure how this is possible.
However, using the command line debugger - fdb - should be possible from ant.
Another developer has been trying to get this to work. You need to pass -unit to fdb and create a file called .fdbinit that has debugger commands in it.

Flex compilation error

Hi All,
I am getting flex compilation error when i deploy the models which were developed in older version7.0, now it is 7.01.I am getting the following error in 7.01 version.

Does the older version models doesnot deploy in new versions?

Flex compilation error: line exceeds 32k span

Hi All,
I am trying to execute my application being developed in VC7.0 (nw04s sneak preview version) using tabbed layers. I have 3 layers and has the following UI components

3 tab/layer: table control

PS: Initially I had a table and chart controls in my second layer (no 3rd layer then) and got the same error however, after removing the chart contrl, the app begun to run.
Now I added a 3rd layer which has one table contrl only and now the app is not working. I also have eventing between my layers..
Please help
Thanks
Sathish

Hi
The 32k issue id pretty hard to get rid of once it starts, instead of using the 3rd layer, try and create a nested iview, you can also try and use a nested iview for each layer, this is a bit more complicated to do but does seem to workaround the 32k problem.

FLEX debugger not hitting breakpoints, because Flash sometimes embeds source file paths with wrong letter case?

I was trying to figure out why breakpoints were working fine for source files in some locations but not others. FlashDevelop's debugger (which I believe is actually the FLEXSDK debugger) was successfully connecting, tracing output, and hitting breakpoints in SOME files, but not others.
I downloaded SWFInvestigator from Adobe Labs and checked the embedded debug paths for various source files to see what was going on.
I discovered that files in which no breakpoints could be hit had their paths embedded in all lowercase (e.g. "c:\users\username\desktop\source\myproject" instead of "C:\Users\username\Desktop\source\MyProject").
So I have two questions:
First, is this a Flex debugger issue, or a FlashDevelop plugin issue? Letter case shouldn't matter or interfere with matching file paths in Windows.
Second, what could possibly influence the letter case of embedded paths in a SWF output by Flash Professional (CS6), such that they are sometimes all lowercase and other times maintain the same case from the file system? And why would that affect a debuggers ability to hit breakpoints in Windows 7? I am compiling in multiple ways. Sometimes clicking Publish within Flash. Sometimes the file being published is not even open in Flash, and my JSFL script file is passed to Flash.exe containing embedded file paths to open the document. Usually, everything seems to work fine, no matter where I publish from, regardless of whether the FLA file is open or not. I'm honestly starting to believe that it depends on how the FLA was last opened in Flash Professional, as though it saves some sort of last access path internally and uses that to embed debug information.

I don't think it's the source path in my case, because it's simply the dot ".", although I did check that because it would most likely influence the embedded paths.
In the library path, I use relative paths exclusively, since all my individual project folders exist in the same "source" folder.
Here's how I arrived at the conclusion that something more complex or "stateful" must be occuring:
I publish my files with a one-click application, which does the following
updates version timestamps (static constants) in specific files via regex match
fills in a JSFL template with the FLA filename and writes the JSFL file to disk, then passes the JSFL file path to flash.exe for publication
the JSFL then runs a command, which signals the main application via cross-process communication that the script has finished publishing
That all makes it easy for me to update and publish multiple projects and deploy them, with a single click. Here is the JSFL template I created, which has been drastically simplified since the days where it used to search to see if the file was open in Flash, select the document, and call publish. Now it just uses the publishDocument method to silently publish files without opening them.
var filepath = "FLAFILEPATH"; //template parameter: the URI (beginning with "file:///") of the FLA file to publish
fl.publishDocument( filepath, "PUBLISHPROFILENAME" );
FLfile.runCommandLine("COMPLETECOMMAND");
The C# app replaces the strings in all caps with the actual values. The COMPLETECOMMAND is actually populated with the application's own executable path, along with a "complete" switch, which lauches a 2nd instance, which handles the complete switch by broadcasting a signal over an interprocess channel and then terminates. The main instance captures the signal, triggers a wait handle, and continues with publishing the next file. Here is the core code for it:
private string fillTemplate( string fla_directory, string fla_filename, string publish_profile_name )
    string fileuri = "file:///" + Path.Combine( fla_directory, fla_filename ).Replace( '\\','/' );
    return EmbeddedResources.OpenAndPublish //JSFL template file embedded as string resource
        .Replace( "FLAFILEPATH", HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode( fileuri ) )
        .Replace("COMPLETECOMMAND", HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode( "\"" + Application.ExecutablePath + "\"" + " -publishcomplete" )) //call self with -publishcomplete switch to signal main instance's publishCompleteSignal
        .Replace("PUBLISHPROFILENAME", HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode( publish_profile_name ) );
private static readonly string FLASH_PATH = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS6\Flash.exe";
public void publish( string fla_directory, string fla_filename, string publish_profile_name )
    Program.publishCompleteSignal.Reset();
    string template = fillTemplate( fla_directory, fla_filename, publish_profile_name );
    string curdir = Environment.CurrentDirectory;
    string tempJSFLfilepath = Path.Combine( curdir, "temp_script.jsfl" );
    File.WriteAllText( tempJSFLfilepath, template );
    Process p = Process.Start( FLASH_PATH, tempJSFLfilepath );
    Program.publishCompleteSignal.WaitOne( 30000 ); //timeout after 30 seconds
Here's where it gets interesting. The FLAFILEPATH has ALWAYS been passed in as all lower case, yet this publication method has worked 99% of the time for hundreds of publish operations every day. This applies to both the publication of the first SWC, which is referenced by the second published SWF (both were being published with lowercase paths), yet the paths for the main SWF were remaining in lowercase, while those in the referenced SWC were maintaining the correct case from the file system.
So there may be any number of things going on here. SWCs may be published differently than SWFs, such that SWCs always have the correct letter case for debug source files, regardless of how the source FLA project was opened. Ensuring the path passed to publishDocument uses the right case definitely fixes the problem, but it doesn't explain why it usually worked, despite having always been passing a lowercase string. The only variable I can think of in all of this is Windows itself or Flash, such as whether the document was open in Flash at the time the silent JSLF publishDocument command ran, and how that FLA was last opened (via shortcut, via "recent documents" in Flash, via recent documents in Windows. It has to be something, even if it's something as obscure as how the folder path was last accessed in windows, although I strongly suspect it's just how (in terms of path case) the FLA was last opened in Flash.
In any case, I'm happy that passing the right case to JSLF's publishDocument command fixes the problem, so I'm not going to spend any more time trying to figure out how opening the FLA in various ways could affect the embedded debug paths. The only thing that should be done is to address how paths with the wrong case are handled when they do get embedded that way for whatever reason. Perhaps the flex debugger should be updated to use case-insensitive matches in case-insensitive file systems, unless, perhaps, this is a FlashDevelop debugger issue after all.

Flex SDK Error

I'm trying to setup the Flex SDK locally (the bugquash event over the weekend

I import all of the sample projects:

Flex compilation error after adding an additional output port to a query

Hello,
I need to add an additional output port to a query in order to dynamically filter some results. Our version of VC 7.0 (SP16) doesn't support filter components with access to store data.
Just when we add an extra output port to the query and deploy it we run into a flex compilation error.
Has somebody come along with that?
Kind regards
Stefan

Hi
Why exactly you want another output port. With same output port you can drag multiple filters & restrict the output.
Creation of second output port is not required.
If first way is not suitable in your case, then you add that query twice (or multiple times) & pass the same input parameters.
If still it is not serving the purpose then please elaborate your requirement as what dynamic filter you want.
Regards
Sandeep

Flex debugger problem?

Guys.. i have some problem with flex debugger...
well...
i´m trying to debug my application.. bug something doesnt seens right...
on flex build 3... i´m chossing to debug my main aplication...
everything goes well... my application runs on INTERNET EXPLORER.. so i go to the flex builder ... and click on FLEX DEBUGGING...
in the DEBUG PANNEL.. appers to me that i´m connected...
but.. in the variables... breakpoints and expressions.. nothing appears!
see the image:
someone can help me?
cya

The debugging view allows you to set breakpoints, watch variables, etc.
You need to set the breakpoints in functions where you want the code to stop.
And watch variables may have no value unless you are currently stopped by a breakpoint, and they may have no value if the variable has no valid value at that point in the code, as variables go in and out of existance and scope.
If this post answers your question of helps, please mark it as such.

Debugger error

Hi,
while debugging a simple application I consistently get a debugger error:
dbx: internal error: byteoff too large in 'set_window'
If I ignore this error the debugger crushes a step later.
I am running Sun Studio 9 on Sun Solaris.
Any idea why this happends?

Please provide a test case and we'll get a bug filed.
dbx is probably trying to print a variable of some kind, and the type
information is getting messed up.
the GUI will often automatically "print" variables for you in the "local variables"
window. Sometimes the error message will go away if you close that window.
That way the GUI doesn't print those values out. This is only a workaround though.
Please give more information so we can file a bug.

Flex Debugger - watching an expression continuously

Hi all,
Just a quick question about the Flex debugger (version 3).
I have an AS class and I want to monitor a value continuously as the movie is playing. For instance, I might want to watch 'somebutton.x' or 'somebutton.width' - I don't want to use breakpoints because obviuosly every breakpoint stops the animation, and these values change on a window resize - so more or less every frame.
How do I add a watch expression without putting in a breakpoint - the one's I've put in so far remain blank unless I add a breakpoint!
Many thanks
Kevin

you could always trace() the value instead.
