Flashbug 1.5 Details
Just wanted to write about some of the new features coming in Flashbug 1.5. First off I’d like to say thanks for making Flashbug as popular as it is. It’s not even a public extension and it’s already gotten over 3,000 downloads! I know that’s not a lot compared to others, but that’s a milestone for me =) .
As for Flashbug 1.5, it’s pretty much feature complete at this point and just want to test it some more before putting it up on AMO. Some of the new features you can look forward to are:
Flashbug – An extension for Firebug
- Compatibility: Firebug 1.7 (Firefox 4.0/5.0) and Firebug 1.8 (Firefox 4.0/5.0/6.0)
- File Size: About 950Kb
- Change Log
What’s New
- Console Panel – Fixed clearing console when panel detached
- Preferences Window – Mac OS X buttons cutoff issue resolved
- Preferences Window – Properly loads and saves mm.cfg
Description
Flashbug 1.8 has finally been released and to be honest it was a bit late to the show. It now supports Firebug 1.8 and adds a whole bunch of new features. There is also a new experimental panel called the ‘Flash Inspector’. Many of you might recognize this feature from FlashFirebug. I added this feature in because so many of you were having trouble using both add-ons and they were interfering with each other. Finally I’ve overhauled the preferences window to display EVERY single option to configure the mm.cfg file!
Features
- Utilizes Firebug’s built in search feature – When you search for any words in the logs, the words will be highlighted in real-time.
- Displays Trace logs – Displays the traces emitted from all Flash instances playing in any browser.
- Displays Policy logs – Displays the policy log traces emitted from the Flash Player. These traces usually occur when using cross-domain policies or loading assets from a different domain.
- Configure Debug Player settings – The Flash Player itself can be configured to trace out data differently. Those options are available in the preferences window.
- Trace filters – There are a few builtin filters to display your traces differently.
- Built-in Links – Any URLs that are detected in the traces will be dot underlined.
- Read SharedObject – Read any Shared Objects associated with a page.
- Read AMF/Remoting Request/Response Data – View AMF data sent to and from the page to the server.
- Read SWFs – View SWF internal assets and data. Export SWF assets directly from Flashbug.
