my flashbug can’t trace anything . my firefox is 3.5.3, debugplayer is 10.0.32.18. ths.

If you run into any issues please list the following:

The version of Firebug you have installed.
The version of Firefox you are using
The Flash Player according to Flashbug (as written on the Flash Console panel). If that is unavailable check against PlayerVersion.com

Ant, on the Flash Console tab, does it say that you are using a debug player? If so, please check the Firefox Error Console (Ctrl-Shift-J) and tell me if you see any javascript errors in regards to Flashbug. Finally, what extensions are you using so I can try to duplicate your Firefox profile (and hopefully the bug). thanks

thank you for your reply…flashbug console show my flashplayer is “PlayerVersion :WIN 10.0.32.18(Debug player)”.
and firfox Error Console not show anything js errors…my firebug is 1.4.3…

What extensions are you using? Also how are you trying to use Flashbug? Does it open fine, no visible errors? Are you sure the pages you’re visiting have traces?

Doesnt work for me as well, i am having the exact same problem as Ant it seems.

Addons: Colorzilla, Firebug, FireRainbow, Flashbug, Html Validator, Java Quick Starter, MeasureIt, Microsoft .Net Framework Assistant, Web Developer, Xmarks

Firefox 3.5.3

“PlayerVersion :WIN 10.0.32.18(Debug player)”.

it seems to be working now, i rebooted my computer, and restarted firefox without saving my tabs.

I think your issue might have been with the Flash Player. When Flashbug runs for the first time on a computer that hasn’t been configured for traces before, it’ll create a config file. But Flash Player may not recognize the config file until all instances of the Flash Player have been restarted. Usually this just means restarting the browser(s). But glad to hear it’s working for you now.

Awesome Tool! I have since replaced FlashTracer with your tool, and have not looked back!
Keep up the brilliant work, looking forwarded to future enhancements. ^_^
Works well for me in PC FF v2 & v3.5 and Mac FF v3.0
Regards!

Awesome Tool. This is way better than FlashTracer.
Couple quick feature requests though (not even sure they are possible):
1. A lot of the time, I would like to know where flash objects are pulling their resources from (such as videos or images when not compiled into the swf), would it be possible to add like a load log that would display the urls of files that are loaded?
2. I noticed the trace log only shows traces from the root-level swf object, would it be possible to have it also display traces from any swfs called by the original one (that sort of run in the background)?
3. The ability to dump the log to a file would be great.
If these features were added, it would make your plugin the single greatest thing since the advent of the tubes (well maby not the greatest, but close). Anyways, keep up the good work, and I can’t wait to see the final product.

@DRayX

1. You can already view this by going to the Net panel in Firebug and selecting the Flash filter. This will show all FLV’s, and SWF’s being loaded in. There isn’t an api to detect anything else that was loaded specifically from a SWF so you just have to know what you are looking for in the Net panel.
2. The trace log should show traces from ALL swfs (including swfs playing in other browsers). The way the trace log works is it’s a single text file used by any instance of the Flash Player. Flashbug isn’t doing anything specific to grab the traces from each swf.
3. Technically this is already dumped in a file but I can see about making it either open the log file directly or save it out somewhere.

Whats up man! Great extension! How hard would it be to allow the @@XML@@ to also format XMLLists or single nodes?

I’d have to look into it. Right now the XML is passed into Firefox’s internal XML parser to see if it’s valid before continuing. I can see if there is another way around that.

Great plugin! I use it daily.
I have one question, is it possible to clear the trace log when I refresh the browser? I find my self clearing everytime I refresh / retest the flash application.

Hmm maybe, I’ll have to see what functionality is available in Firebug/Firefox

Very cool add-on. I’m running OS X 10.6.2, Firefox 3.5.5, Flash debug player 10,0,32,18, Firebug 1.4.5, and Flashbug 1.5.0. In order to get the logging working, I had to move the mm.cfg file:

mv ~/mm.cfg /Library/Application\ Support/Macromedia/mm.cfg

I hope that is helpful.

Excellent, thanks for the tip. Don’t have a Mac so my testing is limited.

Im using Flash Debug Player 10.0.32.18, Firebug 1.4.5 and Firefox 3.5 on Windows XP. Firefox error panel ist empty and Firebug shows the Flash Console tab, but it is disabled and stays that way. I previously had Flash Tracer installed and logging worked fine. If I delete the log-files manually they are recreated in the same place when I start Firefox again. Any ideas?

I know it’s obvious but did you try enabling the panel?

Yeah I tried this, but I don’t know how I should do this exactly. There is no small arrow like in the other tabs (because this arrow only appears when you select them) and opening the tab doesn’t work. It highlights the tabs outline, but clicking has no effect.

Where’s the flashbug console? I don’t see anything for flashbug except for the extension and it’s options. Running FF 3.5.5 and FLASG WIN 10,0,32,18 (Debug player)

Hi, Gabriel
Great Add-On
But do you know what is the name of “Application Data” folder in Germany? “Anwendungsdaten”!!! This is the problem of Nico and me. Danke dir fuer FlashBug :)

I am trying to get a trace of from this url http://v3.player.abacast.com/player/player.php?pid=maverickmedia_kxfxfm

Not seeing any trace data.

I am using
Firefox 3.3.3

any ideas?

Firebug 1.4.5

Hello,
your plugin is great. But i have one problem.
But i have one problem. If i use stage.focus = xyz this do not work. I get the focus if i click on the stage but after this i lose the focus. After deactivating vour plugin, anything is allright.
Firefox: 3.56 Flashbug 1.50 and the latest flash player with debuger.
But now when i think about it. Today i installet the new Firefox 3.56. maybe this it is, because i think the last days i havent the problem … bad memory
sorry for my bad english.

@gennadij polikarpov and Nico

You are running Windows XP?
Try to create a junction named “Application Data” that points to “Anwendungsdaten”. That fixed the firebug panel for me.
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolische_Verkn%C3%BCpfung#Abzweigungspunkte

I think MS changed the folder structure in Vista and 7 so this step may not be necessary on these systems, but on XP…

Hello,

I have this problem: Firebug works fine without Flashbug But when I install and activate Flashbug, I can run Firebug, but nothing is shown in its window. No content, nothing :-(

My system:
Windows XP
Firefox 3.5.6
Flash Debug Player 10,0,32,18
Firebug 1.4.5
Flashbug 1.5.0

If you gave me some help as a gift for christmas, I would be thankful ;-)

Best regards from Switzerland,
Christian

thanks

So I think the underlying issue is that Flashbug is trying to guess where the mm.cfg file goes to make it easier to setup. But I only configured it for en/us setups. Maybe the next step would be to create localized versions of Flashbug that would be configured for Swiss/German/etc setups. Are the folders all named the same except for Application Data?

And yes, sorry for not having any updates sooner. But where I work, the holiday season is super busy. When things slow down (probably in January) i’ll be able to give some attention back to Flashbug. Sorry for the wait!

Frohe Weihnachten!
Merry Christmas!
@Andreas
Your variant is sure OK
2. variant:
replace “Application Data” with “Anwendungsdaten” in lib.js and solReader.js
@gabriel
we have Anwendugsdaten, Lokale Einstellungen, Netzwerkumgebung,…

Take care with trace filters flags with XML. Only multiline XML works :
trace(“@@XML@@\nTest 1\n”)
trace(“@@XML@@Test 2″)
Only the first is displayed

And if you trace an empty XML
trace(“@@XML@@”);
This produce an XML parsing error “No element found”

Does not show anything.

I installed de Flash Debugger, and next the Flashbug, but it doesnt work.
In the firebug I can see the console flash but it’s inactive. How can I activate it__

The tip from Andreas totally worked for me, just be sure, you take the “Anwendungsdaten” folder o the right user.
for my machine, the complete commandline was
linkd “C:\Application Data” “C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\\Anwendungsdaten”
where , of course, is to be replaced by the user you are logged in with.
Also watch that the Firefosx instance that you use for installing the plugin uses the correct profile.
Last but not least, when you copy the above command line to your dosbox, the quotation marks can get corrupted. They might still look like quotationmarks, but dos will alsways tell you the correc tusage of linkd.exe ;-)

Before: Installation worked, when opening Firebug, plain grey was shown
After: Everything works as intended

somehow, in my last post, the line got damaged, so here again
linkd “C:\Application Data” “C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\username\Anwendungsdaten”

Hi there, to make it easier – Walter Bese is perfectly right! But because I hat to search a lot for the files, here are the paths to “lib.js” and “solReader.js” where “Application Data” hast to be replaced with “Anwendungsdaten” on swiss/german/austrian systems:

C:\ Dokumente und Einstellungen \ USERNAME \ Anwendungsdaten \ Mozilla \ Firefox \ Profiles \ XXXXXXX.default \ extensions \ flashbug@coursevector.com \ chrome \ content \ flashbug

Hi! I’m testing this out on Mac OSX 10.5.8, FF 3.5.8. Firebug 1.5.0. Player version: MAC 10,0,32,18 (Debug player).

I don’t see anything on Trace Log at all. :( Is there supposed to be something written in the ~/mm.cfg file? It’s empty for me here.

Thanks!

Wait, it worked! I just edited ~mm.cfg and added this:

ErrorReportingEnable=1
TraceOutputFileEnable=1

Thanks for this great plugin!

HOMEDRIVE=H: bug USERPROFILE is c:\doc… (normal)

This plugin works well on my Mac but fails on my windows PC (corp. image). I think the method of identifying the mmdir is not using USERPROFILE for some reason and fails to find the dir. My mm.cfg works fine and the trace log is in the default win location. I can continue using the log for now, but I like the plugin. Thanks!

I have one question, how can you clear the log file of all the trace output? Or where is
the log fie located for a Mac?

Thanks
Chris.

@chris

First off, thanks!
You can clear the log output be clicking on the ‘clear’ button. Also the location of the log file on a mac is located here: /Users/username/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/Logs/flashlog.txt

But if you just click on the ‘open’ button it will open the log file directly for you.

[...] Neato! If you understood the title then you should know enough to check this out. http://blog.coursevector.com/flashbug/ [...]

Shared Objects don’t work for localhost or ports. The localhost problem is described under “Specifying a path”:

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=lsos_3.html

Here’s the patch to HttpObserver.addDomain():

var domain = getPrettyDomain(href);
var portIndex = domain.lastIndexOf(“:”);
if (portIndex != -1) {
domain = domain.slice(0, portIndex);
}
if (domain == “localhost”) {
domain = “#” + domain;
}

I couldn’t even trace that method from Local File System so I assume it errors out before then. Also I didn’t see anything conspicuous in Flashbug.SOLReader#refresh() but when I click your Refresh button I get my same Shared Object properties even though I know they’ve changed and verify that when I refresh the page?

Fantastic work I use this :)

Something went wrong with this 1.6 update, i’m on Windows 7, Firefox 3.6, firebug 1.5.3, flash player version WIN 10.0.45.2 (Debug player) and it seems that the traces are repeating. When I open the log txt the traces are fine, but in the plugin they are repeating all over again after each trace.

@renan and @jon
Both have been fixed in 1.6.1 which I just uploaded to Mozilla today.

Hi There,

Mac OS 10.5.7
FF 3.6.2
Have latest flash debug flayer installed
Flashbug is not working
I suspect it has something to do with mm.cfg file – i don’t know what it is, what to do with it or where to put it. According to Flashbug I shouldn’t need to worry about it?
Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.

Best
Fin

What version of Flashbug are you using? 1.6.2 fixed an issue with Mac OSX.

I don’t see any AMF responses or requests. FF3.5.8, FireBug1.5.3 and FlashBug1.6.2 Flash 10,0,45,2

ex. http://cfbugs.adobe.com/ I don’t get anything in the trace log at all.

@User

I’ve emailed you about your problem

I’ve installed the flash debugger, flashbug, and firebug, but I am not seeing any flash traces in the flash console panel. It is reporting that it sees the debug flash player “Player Version:MAC 10,0,0,45,2 (Debug player)”. I’m not confident that it is pointed to the right .txt file for flash traces, and there seems to be no setting to check or change it.

Mac OS X 10.6.2, FF3.6.2, Firebug1.5.3, FlashBug1.6.2rc Flash 10,0,45,2 debug version.
get nothing in the trace log and policy log.

I think I have an idea of whats going on with the Macs. Flash Player has an awesome idea that the mm.cfg can be located in two places. If it doesn’t find it in one place, it should look in the other. Apparently that isn’t happening and is affecting a lot of people. Hopefully if time permits during the week I’ll have another update to resolve this issue as well. So please bear with it for the time being.

yes, after copying mm.cfg to path “/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/”, my issue was fixed

Sorry, actually I copied mm.cfg from /Library/Application Support/Macromedia/ to ~/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/.

I setup the flashbug.
It will create file mm.cfg in d:/

waiting for your answer /email

If you have problems with trace it is probably bacause the latest version of Flash Player is not supported by this addon. So you can use older Flash Player 9 and it works well.

Actually the latest (10.1 RCs) do have debug versions. Keep in mind that Flashbug isn’t ‘supported’ by anything other than Firefox/Firebug. Flashbug reads a text file created by the Flash Player. If the file isn’t being created, that’s the Flash Players fault not necessarily Flashbugs. Always remember to use the debug version of the player or the log file won’t be created.

Firefox 3.6.3
Firebug 1.5.3

Adobe Flash Player Version:WIN 10,0,45,2 (Debug player)

The Trace Log is empty.

I’m getting a pop-up window with this error when I try to change preferences:

wasn’t working with flash debugger 10 (since nothing was written in flashlog.txt) I switched to flash debugger 9.0 and now everything works fine.

Nice job thanks a lot for your help towards developpers comunity. This is and will remain trully appreciated!

Gabriel.
In an existing application we want to use SharedObjects. I was fiddling with an existing script (because I never saw the SharedObjects in the FlashBug panel). But even with the existing script , I don’t see any SharedObjects.
My system is a Windows7 – 64 bit machine. The applications will run on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Vista machines. Any idea why I don’t see the defined SharedOBjects ?

Log gets not cleared:

“Flush File Error:[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIFileOutputStream.init]” nsresult: “0×80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)” location: “JS frame :: chrome://flashbug/content/lib.js :: anonymous :: line 54″ data: no]”

FF 3.6.3
Firebug: 1.5.3
FlashPlayer: 10,0,45,2 (debug version, obviously :) )

traces work though. Although i must admint that i don’t see any difference in using this than in using the console directly. Arrays and Objects still are “Stringed”. Or did i miss sth here ?

As far as the log not getting cleared, one issue that was happening for someone else turned out to be pretty simple. When you try to clear the log file (a text file) if anything else is accessing/reading that file, Flashbug can’t clear it. So if you have say notepad open viewing the log, or another browser that is actively writing to it, Flashbug might not be able to clear the file.

@micha
Don’t get me wrong here, the trace panel is just that. It displays the log, much like the console did. Advantages for Flashbug lie in XML color/formatting, Policy Log display, SharedObject inspector, and AMF inspector. So if you’re cool just using the console by all means use the tool that works best for your workflow.

@william brown
This occurs when Flashbug displays, it loads a really small SWF to detect the player version. It *SHOULD* have written a trust file to avoid you seeing this message. Maybe the location I had was wrong for Linux. I’ll check it out.

@elgwiedo
The SharedObjects tab is strictly for the current page you’re viewing. If you want to ability to inspect any SharedObject I’d suggest you use .minerva (also located on this blog) for that.

Hi,
Thanxs a lot for this add-on to fireBug :)

I read what you wrote above about clear log file, but even without the file opened, i can’t clear the log, and the message still appears:

“Flush File Error:[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIFileOutputStream.init]” nsresult: “080004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)” location: “JS frame :: chrome://flashbug/content/lib.js :: anonymous :: line 54 data: no]”

My setup is:
FF 3.6.3
Firebug: 1.5.4
FlashPlayer: 10,0,45,2 (debug version)

If i close FF and Firebug i can delete the file and clear the log.
Any thoughts about this?

Thanxs
