Flash Player 11.5 - Debug trace in release player
I've just seen that this is now available
It might be a godsend to track down those pesky 1009, 1010 errors
I just have to get my users to update their flash player ...

Hi,

From my testing that's sadly the case. You could detect the version of the flash player and then load a swf compiled with 11.5 if they are using 11.5. (Assuming your app is in the browser).

So true, just did a test and wasn't able to make it work without compiling
with 11.5 :P

Just about every new feature is gated by SWF version. Some legacy code may
have been relying on the lack of debug information in the
Error.getStackTrace() in a release build. In fact, I haven't tried it, but
it could break my hacks described here:

@Frédéric
Yes, you are right, it's not an API "function". It's more an "internal functionality" of the Flash Player. But I am not sure if you are right. I have tested this for my own and the debug with release player only worked when I compiled against 11.5.
Maybe someone else can confirm.

AFAIK, this feature is only about the stack trace of errors in the "release
Flash Player >= 11.5", nothing is relative to any API to use, so, the SDK is
not implied and you app can be compile with any version, having 11.5 release
player installed is sufficient.
Tell me if I missed something.

AFAIK, the 4.5.1A targets Flash Player 10.2
So the minimum required FP version of your customers is 10.2 and you can use
only the API of 10.2 (no debug trace for release versions). If the user has
11.5 installed it will only use 10.2 API because you compiled your app in
this version.

Does this mean that an app that I compile with the default settings for 4.5.1A will not benefit from this stacktrace availability, even if the user has 11.5 installed?

We have an extensive error reporting system in our app that would benefit greatly from this... however forcing users to upgrade their flash player is not an option as our user base contains many people with legacy browsers.

Hi,
> Is it not working for FB4?? I have upgrade the SDK.
If you using the 4.5+ SDK it may work in FB4. You may have some luck using the -targetplayer compiler option rather than the -swf-version compiler option in FB4 using an SDK earlier than 4.5. I've not tried either so if someone does feedback here would be good.
Thanks,
Justin

Hi,

You're actually compiling with the compiler that come with 4.1 SDK and it doesn't support that option. Try -target-player option instead that may work (I've not tried it), otherwise you'll need to to use 4.5.

I've upgraded to 4.7
Installed the 4.1 SDK (this is what I need to target for now - I had
issues with the 4.5 and 4.6 SDK's that I haven't had time to sort out)
I've installed the playerglobal.swc, modified flex-config.xml
But I still get
Description Resource Path Location Type
unknown configuration variable 'swf-version' Lite line 19
Flex Problem
even though I'm compiling with FB4.7
Is there anything I'm missing ?

Not tried but see no reason why it shouldn't work on 4.0 if you have the
playerglobal.swc and flash player version and swf version numbers set
correctly in the flex config file.

Hi,

Look like the "-swf-version" option was added in FB 4.5 (or rather to the compiler for the Flex SDK that come with FB 4.5). You might be able to get it to work with the "-target-player" option?

Thanks for all the help...
Just tried this in FB4.0 and it doesn't compile
Description Resource Path Location Type
unknown configuration variable 'swf-version' Lite line 19
Flex Problem
Looks like I'll be upgrading to FB4.7 soon

Hi,

Not tried but see no reason why it shouldn't work on 4.0 if you have the
playerglobal.swc and flash player version and swf version numbers set
correctly in the flex config file.
Thanks,
Justin

One final question on this
Do you need Flash Builder 4.7 for this or will Flash Builder 4.0 be
sufficient
Thanks for all your help with this

Download the current SDK.
Just edit the framework/flex-config.xml file and change this lines:
<!-- Specifies the minimum player version that will run the compiled
SWF. -->
<target-player>11.1</target-player>
<!-- Specifies the version of the compiled SWF -->
<swf-version>14</swf-version>
To:
<!-- Specifies the minimum player version that will run the compiled
SWF. -->
<target-player>11.5</target-player>
<!-- Specifies the version of the compiled SWF -->
<swf-version>18</swf-version>
You also need to download the the 11.5 playerglobal.swc from here:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/updaters/11/playergloba
l11_5.swc
And copy it to:
/frameworks/libs/player/11.5/playerglobal.swc
(Thanks again Justin McLean for this explanation.)

Hi,
Also in the SVN develop branch of the ide directory there's several scripts that can download the swcs and make the changes for you.
Thanks,
Justin

Can you target 11.5 in Flash Builder(4.7)
Does this automatically set the swf version to 18 or is that something
else ?

HI,
Just be aware that you need to compile your application with 11.5 (and
swf version set to 18) for this to take effect.
Thanks,
Justin

Indeed this is a very nice feature. I was waiting a long time for the feature.
I use a global error handler (UncaughtErrorEvent.UNCAUGHT_ERROR) in my application and send all debug logs to my e-mail. I think it's the best way to find errors in your application.

Yes well, that's the trick isn't it. I'm still trying to get some of mine
onto 11.x
