You have to have the Flash 9 Debug version of the player installed, not the regular version of the Flash 9 player. You can install it from the Adobe web site.

Hi everyone, Well after fresh install and a reboot my flash player works again. I´ve replaced /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so with the debugger libflashplayer.so from the SDK and it still works. I can also run swf's in the standalone player. I've started compiling actionscript tutorials using mxmlc. However I can't get trace() to work (in either the plugin or the standalone). Trace instructions are simply ignored. I've even tried running the compiler with the debug=true flag, but as expected that does not influcence trace(). What could I be doing wrong? Here is a minimal example (contents of file HelloWorld.as: package { import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.text.TextField; public class HelloWorld extends Sprite { public function HelloWorld() { var display_txt:TextField = new TextField(); display_txt.text = "Hello World!"; //displays text trace("attempting to trace something else") //does nothing addChild(display_txt); } } } The compiler is invoked: mxmlc -benchmark=true HelloWorld.as regards, Izak ----- Original Message ---- From: Martin Wood-Mitrovski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Open Source Flash Mailing List <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 7, 2008 9:29:49 AM Subject: Re: [osflash] Am I overlooking any crucial tools? izak marais wrote: > Thanks for the feedback.
