firefox flash tracer plugin

For Windows Vista these logfiles will normally be located in C:\Users\{Your User Name}\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\Logs\flashlog.txt

The directory shows up once you installed the debug player.
further:
  • you do need the debug version of the flash player for the tracer to work.

  • I have observed quite a difference in performance with the tracer enabled, please share your experiences.

default dynamic text with scrollBar

I am trying to give an easy example of one of the many possibilities to have a dynamic text field with content fed from an external text file, being controlled by a self made scrollbar.

1. create your text file. I decided to go for a very simple html format.

2.open your flash movie, create a textfield on the stage.
