Webmaster Forum / Flash / Flash Remoting / July 2006

Ok, Sorry for the long post, but given my research , I wanted to be clear on
the problem and what I have done to address it.--- anyone who has gotten the
NetConnection Debugger to work with Flash 8 and actionscript 2.0 on a PC, your
help will be greatly appreciated

When I compile a Flash 8 swf with AS 2.0 the it does not seem to import the
class properly to utilize the net connection debugger.

I spent a considerable amount of time getting it to work on My Mac, but on the
PC , none of my calls to the debugger are working.

I have a very simple file that has the following code:
-----------------------------
import mx.remoting.NetServices;
import mx.remoting.debug.NetDebug;

NetDebug.initialize();

NetDebug.trace("I am here")

-----------------------------

I do not get any errors for the imports, and the files are where they need to
be. ( see the end of the message to see the directory structure for both the
mac and the pc versions of this)

When I first installed the remoting components on my macintosh, the Net
Connection Debugger would not work. I eventually took my 2004 Classes and
overwrote the mx.remoting.debug folder in the
usr/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/Flash 8/en/Configuration/Classes/mx/

then after restarting flash and the debugger.swf.. it worked on the mac.

I have tried the same thing on the PC on three separate machines.

The latest PC is a brand new clean machine.

These are the steps I have followed:
I installed Flash 8 professional
I installed the remoting components
I created a test file with the code from above
I opened the debugger
I exported the file, ............... nothing traced

I then copied the as Class files from my mac and overwrote the files in the
classes directory for mx.remoting.debug
in both these directories.

c:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application
Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\Classes\mx\

and in c:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\First Run\Classes\mx\remoting.

After a restart of flash and the debugger I am still not getting a trace
out... I am at a loss. I need this to work, and someone has to have run into
this before.

Here is a list of the files in mx\remoting  directories on the Mac and the PC.
