Flex: Can't monitor app while stepping through code

It would be very beneficial to me to be able to monitor my app while stepping through code so that I could pinpoint what step was causing something on the screen to happen. However whenever I am stepping through code the browser just looks blank white. Does anyone know if there is a way to view your application as you step through code? I am using Firefox if that matters.

Thanks.

Do you have the debug version of the Flash player installed on your system (it could have been overwritten/corrupted). Are you using Flex Builder?

I am using Flex Builder 3 pro. I am not sure if I am using the debugging version of flash player tho, how can I check/install?

Download it from here <http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html>. Normally, this is installed by FB3.

I went to http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html#fp9 and re-installed it, same thing though, firefox is just a white screen while stepping through code. Is it not like this for you? what browser are you using? Thanks

I use FF3 and I have not have had a problem. Are you making any http requests etc? Then wait for a while. Check if you have a initialize event handler and if you can get there.

I am loading XML, thats my only request, everything works fine as I am stepping through code, and as soon as I hit the "resume" button (F8) the app stops being just white and everything is back to normal, FF is just white (not responding) while I am stepping through code. Until now I thought it was like that for everyone.

*everything works fine as I am stepping through code -- Code executing wise I mean, the screen is just white.

John Isaacks 2009-04-30 19:35:42

Oh! That's just how it works. Don't fret.

dirkgently 2009-04-30 19:36:43

Ohh ok, thanks, that sucks though, I would like to be able to visually see the app so I can easily tell at what step something on the screen is happening at.

...that's how it works. You may want to check out KapInspect for some debugging support while still viewing the app.
