Debugging a release only flash problem
- by Fire Lancer
I've got an Adobe Flash 10 program that freezes in certain cases, however only when running under a release version of the flash player. With the debug version, the application works fine.
What are the best approaches to debugging such issues? I considered installing the release player on my computer and trying to set some kind of non-graphical method of output up (I guess there's some way to write a log file or similar?), however I see no way to have both the release and debug versions installed anyway :( .
EDIT: Ok I managed to replace my version of flash player with the release version, and no freeze...so what I know so far is:
Flash: Debug Release
Vista 32: works works
XP PRO 32: works* freeze
I gave them the debug players I had to test this
Hmm, seeming less and less like an error in my code and more like a bug in the player (10.0.45.2 in all cases)... At the very least id like to see the callstack at the point it freezes. Is there some way to do that without requiring them to install various bits and pieces, e.g. by letting flash write out a log.txt or something with a "trace" like function I can insert in the code in question?
EDIT2: I just gave the swf to another person with XP 32bit, same results :(
