If you:
- turn on Remote Debugging in the Flash 8 debugger
- install the debug player for whatever browser you are using
- upload the SWD file
You'll then be able to debug your SWF remotely. Slow as nuts, but it
works.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Error only when live - pulling my hair out !!!
Hello,
I have a flash based app. that works fine when run in the IDE or locally
on
my machine, however, when I upload the app. to my server, it doesn't
work.
The app. just freezes my machine and I get the damned "A script in this
movie is causing Macromedia Flash Player 8 to run slowly. If it
continues to
run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the
script"
message.
How can I see where the error in my script lies if it only occurs online
?.
I could use the debugger if it were happening within the IDE but how can
I
debug a remote SWF ? Is this possible, PLEEEASE help if you can I AM
PULLING
MY HAIR OUT over this.
If it were Coldfusion or PHP I would get an exact location of the error
and
could go and fix it, surely I can do this somehow ?
Any advice GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
Stephen.

Hey all-
I've searched a bit and haven't seen any postings on this, so thought
I'd pass along at least one initial bug I've found in the Flash
Player on Intel iMac: dynamic non-embedded font text is showing up
blue when it should be black. Scroll down to the "Flash" heading in
this entry for details and some other quick points:

Hi all,
i`m just thinking about rewriting the drawing api classes to work with the
flash.geom package.
I want something like:
var p=new point(20,30);
moveTo(p);
.
So my question is anything like that out there already? What would bet he
best way to do it (e.g. moveTo2(p:Point)).
Do i have to expect performance decrease?
Any input would be nice.
Thanx

Hi
I have a simple flash movie with a input txtBox lying on stage placed in
an activex document form(.vbd).
Now my problem is, if I compile the dll and open the vbd file in a
browser window, the arroe keys and the enter key do not function. I had
a great mess and figured out that I was not able to fetch keys in flash.
Whats the solution?
Regards
Rishi

Hello all,
My name is Will, and i've got an interesting question. (or at least I
think it's interesting). This question is about obfuscating your
action script. I know there are software packages out there that will
rename your variables to single letter and number symbols to make the
script hard to read, and that there are programs that will add
"logical impossibilities" to the tree structure inside the swf to make
decompilers crash...
But what i'd like to know is how to add these "logical
impossibilities" manually. Is there a site that talks about how to do
this, or explains the structure and how it can be... edited.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Will.

All the obfuscation is dangerous and can stop your files from working.
An other techniques to prevent decompilation often result in invalid
bytecodes being put into the SWF file that just HAPPEN to work ok in
current players (but may well fail in the future).
Also note that it is impossible to protect swf from disassembly .. if it
runs, you can see the code. . period.
I did trial and encrypted a not-to-complicated example, and it does
some odd things, adding invalid tags to the file, setting incorrect
information in the swf file header etc. There is no guarantee that a SWF
like that will even run in future players.
What's worse, when I tried the encrypted version, the resultant 'secure'
SWF
file did not play correctly (ie it introduced errors).
BE VERY CAREFUL WITH PRODUCTS LIKE THIS !!!!

Dear urami, thank you for your reply. you seem to be very
knowledgeable about this subject.
If you could point me in the direction of where you have learned this
I would be forever grateful.
I am more than willing to take the risks of introducing the above
techniques into the swf file (and am probably prepared to deal with
them).
Hope you can help me and adrian out.
Will.

A sidenote...
The reason why i'm asking about doing this manually is precisely due
to what urami mentioned. Using software that's available causes the
file not to run properly (this swf is a bit on the long and
complicated side). So i thought that maybe taking a manual approach
might give me more control over which techniques are used, and how...
and maybe the errors could be worked around.
I figured if someone can write a utility to do it... someone had to do
it manually first.
