Jean-Philippe Auclairs article on the hidden secrets of mm.cfg reveals some facinating and frankly awesome methods for debugging Flash applications!! I didnt know these existed but I will be using some of these on a daily basis now. Being able to see the order in which methods are called and the last method fired before an error occurs will have no end of benefits.
Windows 7: ‘C:\Users\user name\mm.cfg’
Windows XP & Vista: ‘C:\Documents and Settings\user name\mm.cfg’
OSX: ‘/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/mm.cfg’
Linux: ‘home/username/mm.cfg’
add the line ‘AS3Trace = 1’ to mm.cfg and when compiling a flash project your output window will display each method that is called and each event that is dispatched.
I tried this with Flash Develop 3.3.1 and it worked a treat. This is going to be indispensable from now on. Thank you JP Auclair.
