A repair permissions and/or reinstall of Flash CS3 probably wouldn't hurt. Could be an underlying problem with the IDE's core files.

This seems to be an issue for larger projects. Maybe this is the reason.

I'm not sure what it is about us old folks, but I believe a debugger is a necessity too. Although I was told that it was unreliable, and nobody uses it, I have been using the debugger on OSX with no problems at all. I have
found it very useful for learning.

I am running Flash CS3 with ActionScript 3.0 only, on an iMac running OSX
10.5.3.

I set a breakpoint in my code by going to the left of an line or lines where I want to stop, and click to the left of the line number. When I'm ready to run, I go to Debug -> Debug Movie. The Flash runtime starts up, and the program stops at my first breakpoint. The Debug Console window comes up and
gives me a stack trace, and at the bottom of the same panel, I see a
variables tab that shows me all my variables. On top of that window are controls to Continue, Stop Debugging, Step Over, Step, and Step Out of.

Works for me. I use it every day that I'm doing Flash/ ActionsScript stuff.

Hi guys,

I don't know if *anyone* out there besides me actually still uses the debugger in CS3, (I am old and will soon be made obsolete by younger,
leaner, hungrier coders) but WTF is going on there?

I've had this issue on 3 different macs (I just switched over this
month) and I'm kind of hurting here for a debugger.

Given that CS3 is a supposedly professional software development tool,
SURELY Adobe would not be so stupid as to ship a product that had a
completely rewritten debugger which simply failed to work on an entire
platform?

That sort of thing doesn't happen, does it?

Does it?

Back in the day I would have known who to call at Macromedia to
complain/whine/shout/log bug reports, but that's all gone by the
wayside since The Buyout.

Anyone else had this problem?

Alias
