Re: [Flashcoders] CS3 Debugger DOES NOT WORK ON OSX?
Long time lurker, first time poster. 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.

To: "Flash Coders List" Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 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?

It just seems to cause CS3 to crash, regularly and randomly, so much so that it's almost totally unusable on OS X. This has happened on 2 differernt macs.

Not sure if it applies, but I was having issues with the flex debugger and Firefox 3 -- turns out there are quite a few plugins for FF3 that completely break the debugger connection.

try this:

if it works, move the declaration of the delegate into your constructor, so

[Flashcoders] AS2 component shim equivalent?
Hi guys, I've been asked to build a bunch of components for a project at work - The components must as2 (sucks, I know) and _most_ of them are swcs, but a couple are to be FLA components to allow for easy skinning by designers. Now - To get around having to distribute your class files when building FLA componens for AS3, you drop in a compiled clip into your component which conatins the definitions of the class(es) - Some of you may well know the "component shim" technique. I've tried to apply this to an AS2 FLA component, but it doesn't seem to work... I've searched for documentation on this + blogs, but there is no mention of the component shim for AS2, onloy AS3. Does anybody know if this is possible, or will I simply have to distribute the classes along with the FLA in the mxp? Thanks in advance!

Re: [Flashcoders] Sounds loaded - but is silent
and Ben, I better mention this bug as well, but that is a bug that you nor we can solve. The function in the gadget, that the drums that are controlling the playback of the video, uses computeSpectrum that is a native function in Flash 9/AS3. There is a bug that when there is another flash opened, from another domain - that plays sound, -then the computeSpectrum will stop analyzing the sounds being played in the swf, since the computeSpectrum takes ALL sounds being played from ALL flash players running sound. -so there will be a crossdomain-issue. So when you are trying this out, you should know about this bug. So when testing our gadget, make sure you dont have any other opened player that is playing sound. / Martin 2008/7/7 Martin Klasson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Hi Ben, > > nothing seems to be crazy, but maybe there is anyway - since the sound isnt > being played - yet it is loaded. > > I set up this: > http://download.kokokaka.com/ikea/crosser.html > > Which also accesses all the swf/mp3 on the qbrick-server. > > But as you notice, here you can play the sounds with the keyboard. > So it does work very well - but not when it is in your system. > > So do you know of any solutons yet? > I thought I could find the solution if I could have the same problem to > test on > my servers but the kokokaka.com server has no trouble to play the mp3's > loaded from the qbrick server. > > Dear regards, > Martin > > > > > > 2008/7/4 ben gomez farrell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Maybe it is a cross domain issue - but also consider that there was an >> error uploading to whatever domain you're using.

Re: [Flashcoders] filmmering FLV playback - why and how to fix that
The problem I had existed both in the quicktime-source as well as the flv-file. So it seems there is something that has gone bad with the 3d-render, but no one knows what just yet. thanks for the tips though, I will use them soon when I will get a decent 3d-output 2008/7/6 Latcho <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > No software problem: - Near def. encoding problem or source vid encoding > problem > get back to the source vid and reencode or try other vids with your > existing script to elliminate problems. > > > > Jason Van Cleave wrote: > >> was the original quicktime h.264? this format used to trip up squeeze and >> may have the same effect with the flash encoder.

[Flashcoders] CS3 Debugger DOES NOT WORK ON OSX?
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?
