| |  | |
I have an ActionScript 3.0 Flash file (.FLA) that simply does not seem to want
to stop at any breakpoints or otherwise show up in the debugger.
If I take the code on its one single layer of script, copy it into a new AS3
Flash file, and debug it, the debugger works correctly. However, even if I
strip every single symbol and object from the original file, and leave it with
just trivial placeholder code (attached), the file will not stop at a
breakpoint or run any of the other Flash CS3 debugger functions. Instead, I see
the code in the debugger, and the program running as if the debugger weren't
even present. Sometimes I get an X button on the debug console that allows me
to terminate the program, sometimes not even that.
The Output window shows the standard lines:
Attemping to launch and connect to Player using URL <path to my SWF>
[SWF] <my SWF's location> - 792 bytes after decompression
15 [ <--- result of the attached placeholder code ]
The Publish settings for the faulty document are - as far as I can tell -
identical to the new file:
Flash is the only format being exported
Version is set to Flash Player 9
Load order is Bottom up
AS version is 3.0 with all items checked, no export class, and frame 1 export
Compress movie is checked
At some point I also checked Permit debugging, but it doesn't seem to make any
difference
All other options are default
I manually downloaded and installed the Debug version of Flash Player
9.0.124.0 earlier, but since the "clean" file debugs correctly, I don't think
this is the problem.
I've also tried a number of other steps, including Save and Compact and just
about everything else I could think of.
I have several files like this in my project. Are they doomed never to work
with the debugger? Is something wrong with my Flash installation?
Cheesy placeholder code attached below:
var a = 5;
var b = 10;
var c = a+b;
trace(c);
stop(); |
