History Manager - FFox - Debug Player

Hi,
I'm getting a weird security exception. My setup is:
1 main application
2 load external module through the moduleloader
3 use a view state component in the main module to enable the
history
management.
I am getting:
Error #2044: Unhandled SecurityErrorEvent:. text=Error #2047:
Security
sandbox violation: LocalConnection.send: mydomain.com cannot
access
http://local.mydomain.com/home.swf.
Where home.swf is the main module.
This only happens in Firefox.
Does somebody ran accross that and got it to work?
Thanks,
JG

I will just reply to myself :-) I figured it out, Flex does
some weird
things. I suspected that some class was not included or
instanced at the
beginning of the application to handle the history manager.
The setup I had
was:
main app:
<mx:ModuleLoader url="home.swf" ready="progressBox.visible
= false"
id="home" left="0" right="0" bottom="0" top="0"/>
home module:
<mx:ViewStack id="views" horizontalCenter="0"
verticalCenter="0"
width="100%" height="100%"
historyManagementEnabled="true">
</mx:ViewStack>
That's when I was getting the bug. So, my quick fix is:
main app:
<mx:ViewStack height="100%" y="0" width="100%" x="0"
historyManagementEnabled="true">
<mx:ModuleLoader url="home.swf"
ready="progressBox.visible = false"
id="home" left="0" right="0" bottom="0" top="0"/>
</mx:ViewStack>
home module:
same as before
and voila :-)

How can I install the Flash Debug Player in Internet Explorer 10?

I just downloaded the Flash Debug Player 11.4.402.287 from http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/11/flashplayer_11_ax_debug.exe - however, trying to install it merely shows a message box saying
The installation encountered errors: Your Microsoft Internet Explorer browser includes the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player built-in. Windows Update will inform you when new versions of the Flash Player are available.
I'm using Internet Explorer 10.0.9200.16384 on Windows 8. A bit of Google research suggested that IE10 has a Flash player built-in (similiar to what Google Chrome has) so I looked for a way to disable the player. It seems that this is indeed possible by clicking the Cogwheel icon in the IE10 toolbar and then selecting 'Manage Add-ons'. The dialog which shows up shows a 'Shockwave Flash Object' entry. However, even with the built-in Flash player disabled, the Flash Debug Player installer keeps giving the same message.
Does anybody knwo how I can install the Flash Debug Player in IE10?

I do not know, but check if there is anything useful in http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/flashplayer/pdfs/flas h_player_windows8_admin_guide.pdf

How to test with the standard Flash player, rather than debug player

Folks,
I am interested in running my flexunit 4 tests against the standard flash player, rather than the debug player that comes with the SDK. Is this possible?
BTW, I am working on Windows for now.
I installed both the flash ActiveX control for IE, and the standard flash plugin for Firefox. I then associated the SWF file extension with Firefox using the "Open With" dialog. I had to choose a single program, and the browser appeared to be my only choice, as I could not find any sort of "FlashPlayer10.exe" to associate with. I ran my ant script that calls <flexunit>, and it kind of works. It launches Firefox, runs the tests, and the results get piped back, but Firefox is not shut down. Yep, Firefox stays open after the tests complete. I seem to recall that the debug flash player would close itself after being opened by <flexunit>. I tried using IE, and the same result occurs: the browser is not shutdown after the tests complete. This behavior makes for an unacceptable test setup, as eventually the system memory on the machine will be exhausted as more and more browsers are opened and not closed.
Questions/options:
1) Is there a standard flash player "executable" somewhere on my system that I can associate the SWF files with (that would hopefully shut itself down)?
2) Second choice, is there a way to get the browser to close after <flexunit> completes?
3) or am I stuck using the debug player? I am concerned that testing management at my company might not like the fact that we are testing against a debug player, rather than the standard one that users will likely be using. If flexunit 4 CI only supports the debug player, is there something I can say to appease management?
Thanks for any help...
Trevor

@trevorbutler - Here are my 2 cents, but the group may have a different perspectives for your questions.
Currently, we suggest the use of the CIListener class as a FU4 listener for use when building your test SWF to run via the FU4 Ant task. This class (http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flexunit/branches/4.x/FlexUnit4CIListener/src/o rg/flexunit/listeners/CIListener.as) uses the fscommand() function to send a message to its host environment to exit (i.e. - fscommand("quit")). This command is only recognized by the Flash projector and stand-alone players, which are thin wrappers around the Flash Player so that it may be executed as its own process in the OS. Based on the setup you are describing, the behavior you're seeing should be expected since the browser is the host environment for the Flash Player. When the browser recieves the resulting message of the fscommand("quit") call nothing will happen since the browser doesn't support this command. If you use the Flash projector or stand-alone players however, they will exit when recieving the results of this command. The projector/stand-alone players come in two flavors, release and debug. Release will act very closely to the typical plugin installed in the web browser (e.g. - swallows errors, no debug support, etc) whereas debug will allow you to write log files to the system, show error messages, etc. Currently the debug stand-alones are available on Windows, Mac, Linux and the release stand-alone is only available on Linux.
To address your questions:
1. If you've installed the Flash Player browser plugin, there is no way that I know of to launch the player as its own process. I've only had success using the projector/stand-alone player (http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html).
2. The Flash Player does have the ability to send javascript to the browser to ask it to close the current window, but most modern browser will prompt the user to confirm they'd like to close the window if its the only open window. Additionally, taking this approach on Mac, the browser process would remain active until an explicit call is made to the host OS to shut down the browser process. The Ant task could be enhanced to use the browser to launch the Flash Player, but that is not currently on our checklist of features to support. If it's something you'd be interested in contributing, let me know and I can work with you on this.
3. For the time being the FlexUnit4 Ant task only supports the stand-alone Flash Player (and adl soon), which for Windows only comes in the debug flavor. The only thing I've run into with the stand-alone player is that ExternalInterface reports that its enabled, but since the host environment is not the browser, javascript calls made via this class will fail, consequently causing tests to fail. I haven't tried anything with shared objects or flashvars but my assumption is that they should work correctly, but anything that depends on the browser has the potential not to.
As far as your testing management goes, I would discuss with them the problem context FlexUnit4 hopes to solve. The framework is intended to produce unit and integration tests. Functional testing is not withing the scope of the library. Although, it's technically feasible to write integration tests which will exercise components similarly to a functional test, tools such as FlexMonkey, Selenium Flex, QTP, etc are much better geared towards this problem domain. Test recording and playback, using these tools, is typically done using the FP browser plugin and is much easier to use by most QA and testing staff. At the end of the day, as we're testing our code using FlexUnit at a smaller granularity than that of which the user interacts with in our application. To reliably test the applicaiton as the user would interact with it requires additional tooling and a different type of testing.
Like I said, just my take, maybe some of the other guys can help as well.

Problem with history manager on internet explorer

Hello,
I'm using the flex's history manager to save a state of my
application. When I use firefox everything works almost fine, but
when I use internet explorer nothing works. I tried both 6.0 and
7.0.
Do anyone know why does this happen and how can I workaround
it?

Hi Konstantin,
Searching through our bugbase, I found this bug which sounds
like the issue you're having:
history management doesn't work when previewing a local file
in IE:
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-443
This should work fine when using an http url. If not, can you
please log a bug?
thanks,

Color management for flash player with hardware acceleration

I have tested the color management for flash player 10.2 with and without hardware acceleration (GPU) on different PCs with different video cards.
Videos that are played via flash without hardware acceleration on PC have proper color as designed in After Effects.
When I switch on hardware acceleration, the color shifts, for example green becomes lighter, although grey values are OK. I have tried this by writing a small Flash programme for playing a movie; I wrote two programmes one with color management as described in the article "Color correction in Flash Player" http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/color_correction_as3.html and another one without color management. In both cases I got the same color shift when hardware acceleration was turned on. From the result I concluded that color management does not work when hardware acceleration is on.
My question is: are there any plans to have color management for flash player with hardware acceleration (GPU) in the near future?
We need to play complex high definition movies streaming through a high speed local area network that need hardware acceleration to avoid stuttering.

Hi, LOL at my screen moniker. That's interesting that the FF beta has an Option for that. The only problem, is that I have heard that each browser must UNcheck the H.A. I'm sure you'll find out.
Hope that works at least for FF. Let me know if you have time.
I've been checking out Apple TV and Google TV. Just saved the links and some info, haven't had time to go further. I'd prefer Apple TV over Google tho.
I have a 55" HD Sony/Blu-ray Surround Sound Speakers, etc. I hooked up the VGA cable for Internet, and WOW on the Screen/Monitor!! Now I'm thinking about the iPhone 4 with VZ too, on their pre-order list for 2/3/11!
Hard to keep up with the Technology, moving faster today for some reason.
We are under the Snow & Ice warning, getting it now. Hope I don't lose power! If so, I'll be offline for sure.
If I find anything on that H.A. for IE, I'll let you know.
Thanks,
eidnolb

Video doesn't play in authoring player, does play in debug player

I just updated to CS5 - I'm working on a custom video player. It works fine embedded in a web page both locally and on the network. It works fine in the debug player. However, when I test it in the authoring player I get a NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound error and no video. I have tried setting the Local Playback Security publish settings to both local and network - doesn't find the video either way.
It used to run fine in CS4 in the authoring environment.
Obviously it's hard to debug the problem when it doesn't fail in the debugger. ;-)
Am I missing a setting or ... ?

I just tested the issue with the included Flash video player component which does work fine in the authoring mode.

HISTORY MANAGE CHECK BOX

HI MASTERS,
WHY WE UUSE HISTORY MANAGE CHECK BOX IN ASSET MASTER, AND IN ASSET CLASS,
I THINKING IT IS USED FOR UPLOADING THE ASSETS TO ASSET HISTORY SHEET IS IT. PLEASE GIVE REPLY THIS , POINTS WILL B ADDED.

Hi Gov
What do you mean by?
"I have to upload asset history from the date of its acquisition."
As far as I know there is no upload to be done. If you do not set this
indicator you will not have detail information for assets of that asset class (created when the indicator was set) in report RAHIST01 / 02.
You can test it in one of your systems.

Instaling addon facebook chat history manager on a refreshed 6.02 firefox installation sais that this addon has been disable by the administrator. how can i enable it?

after reinstaling the firefox browser i have the following information when attempt to install facebook chat history manager addon:
This addon has been disabled by the administrator (something like that).

If you lock a pref then it is impossible to change such a pref on the <b>about:config</b> page.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/network.proxy.type
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/network.proxy.%28protocol%29
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/network.proxy.%28protocol%29_port
You can compare a copy of prefs.js before and after having changed a setting to see which pref(s) to lock.

How to display debug message on non-debug player

I have a debug version of flash player on my computer and in case of error it displays detailed messages together with affected filenames and stack trace. I would like to achieve the same on a non-debug player, for example filling a TextArea with all these error messages and then displaying it. I tried this:
loaderInfo.uncaughtErrorEvents.addEventListener function, where I call the errorEvent.toString();
the output is as follows:
> [SecurityErrorEvent type="securityError" bubbles=false cancelable=false
> eventPhase=2 text="Error #2048"]
it is not very detailed. Is there possibility to have more detailed information on what is going on, which file is affected? I need this because my flex application behaves differently on different computers - sometimes it seems to have security problem while loading a file.

The non-debug player doesn't output anything. Some folks build facilities
into their app like a hidden text control that stores output for later
display with some magic key sequence.

Debug player is not running, but is installed?

Hi I have installed numerous times the debug player for firefox and also for IE.
But still the regular player is running in the browsers? I uninstalled all players with the uninstall tool but still I get no debug player running in my browser. This way I can't debug my application.
Does anybody know why the player is still the regular one and not the debug player after installing the debug player version?
And does anybody has a solution for it? Is there maybe something I need to do during uninstall or something because until now I have no idea what to do further.
Kind regards.

What's your SWF development environment? Flash Builder, Flash Professional?
I think these applications handle the debugger differently.
Can you please try the following:
Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash. (on 64-bit: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash)
Open the mms.cfg file.
Add the following entries:
ErrorReportingEnable=1
TraceOutputFileEnable=1
MaxWarnings=50
Now try to run the SWF file.
Go to the location mentioned above and open the flashlog.txt created.
See if it logs errors.

History management in Flex

I am trying to do some history management in a flex app but I am getting strange behaviour on my test server. I have a history enabled tab control and if I press back it returns to the previous tab but it does it like I clicked to navigate to it so the forward button does not work. This also means that the back button will effectively just switch between the current tab and the previous one no matter how many times you press it or what other tabs you clicked on before that.
The strange thing is it works fine in firefox (though for some reason history never works in chrome) and it works in IE when being run locally on the asp.net development server. The test server is running IIS.
When in chrome the history button doesn't actually do anything until you get to the point where the app was loaded, you then get send to the page before the app as expected.

Newbbie question: How do you know if you have the latest?
If not, can you update only those two files & how?
I'm working with Flex3 & experiencing same behaviour - FF fine for Browser Back/Next, Chrome Fails

11.5 Debug player won't show in Chrome plugins

I have been using the approved method of enabling the debug player in Chrome and this has been working fine for a long time. http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-google-chrome.html
However, I can't get Chrome to recognize the 11.5 debug player. I think it has something to do with it installing a 64-bit DLL on Windows 7 64-bit. What should I do to debug in Chrome?
Thanks.

I'm having the same problem in Chrome on Mac. Debug player works in all other browsers but not in Chrome. My chrome://plugins lists:

Debug Player for Flash Builder Burrito

Is there a debug player out for the FB Burrito release? Mine was complaining about the player version when I went to debug. I installed the latest release, and now it doesn't complain, but I don't get any traces (which usually means the wrong version of the debug version).
Do I need to reinstall FB(B) and hope for the best, or can someone direct me to a stand alone download?
Cheers!

Hi,
There's a known bug with the preview release regarding trace() calls disappearing when an FXG file is present in your project and design view is enabled.
Can you please confirm whether disabling design view by toggling Window -> Enable Design view, restarting Flash Builder and doing a Project clean brings back traces for good?
P.S: This is in the release notes - http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flash_Builder_Burrito and this is the bug - https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-27654
Thanks,
Anirudh
