Re: [flexcoders] Passing query string to swf through flashplayerdebugger

[Dan M]

I'm developing on Linux, so don't have access to FlashBuilder. I'm just 
using the Flex SDK tools from the command line.


I figured it out, though. I just make sure to move my swf over to my web 
server docroot and access it with flashplayerdebugger with the 
appropriate "?" and "&" arguments.


Now if I could figure out how to easily integrate Flex SDK tools into 
Eclipse, I'd be set. Most of the documentation I've seen on how to do 
that assume to plugins that I haven't been able to find.

Sorry, no sooner did I hit send than I realized you said Linux.  I would use a 
browser to launch the HTML wrapper that will pass the parameters to the SWF.  
I've never used Linux, but that's how I did it before there was a FlashBuilder.

If you are using FLashBuilder, you should be able to see traces in the console 
if you use "Debug as" menu option.  Usually a SWF is launched with parameters 
from an HTML wrapper, and FlashBuilder will start up a browser with that HTML 
wrapper.

I'm new to Flex programming, run the 4.6 SDK on Linux. I'm making good progress 
on getting my first serious application running, but I'm getting frustrated 
beyond belief in trying to debug this thing.

First, is it possible to pass query string paramaters to the SWF when I'm 
running flashplayerdebugger? I haven't found any clues as to how to do that in 
my Googling.

Second, is there a reasonable way to debug using something like the print 
statements I'm used to in my python programming? I know that Flex has the 
"trace" statement, but I haven't been able to figure out how to actually see 
what's coming out when I call that. I can read what gets written to 
flashlog.txt but anything meaningful gets lost in all of the "Warning: 
CheckVisibility is not a function" lines that get written there (which is 
immensely irritating since I'm not directly calling CheckVisibility anywhere).

Any help you all could offer would be greatly appreciated. I'm not new to 
programming (been programming in c for > 20 years, perl for > 10 years, python 
about 5 years, java for a year or so), just new to Flex and what appears to be 
a dearth of debugging tools.
