Hello all, I' just installed CS4 and I find that although flash swf's run
nicely, no code is apparently is running. In fact, when I click the "verify
code button" nothing happens. If I press the automatic Ident there is a message
saying there are errors in the errors panel, but in fact nothing appears there.
I can't make a simple trace show up!

Any thougts?

Hi Chirague,

Are you having this issue with a new FLA as well, or only with complex
projects? When you say "no code is running," do you mean that no traces show
up, or that the SWF is not updating like it's supposed to -- for example, not
responding to mouse interaction, not playing animations, etc.

Are you able to do a simple trace in a brand new AS 3 FLA? How about a brand
new AS 2 FLA?

We have had a report similar to this that was resolved by uninstalling an
application called "EMC Documentum". Do you have this application?

Thanks,
Nivesh

Hi Nivesh,
tks for the reply.

[Q]Are you having this issue with a new FLA as well, or only with complex

the problem is with all files.

[Q]When you say "no code is running," do you mean that no traces show up, or

responding to mouse interaction, not playing animations, etc.[/Q]

No messages appears in the output panel. It just seems that no compiler
activity is happening. In a simple Test.as file that points to a .fla, where
the .as file only traces something, nothing happens: no errors, no nothing.

I dont have that EMC Cocumentum and I only tryed with AS3 files.

Tks again:)

Hi Chirague,

I'm trying to determine if the SWF isn't working or if the Output Panel isn't
displaying trace statements. If your SWF is actually playing correctly, but
you aren't getting any trace statements in the Output Panel, please check the
following:

Make sure your default publish settings for new FLA's hasn't been modified for
to omit trace actions (File -> Publish Settings -> Flash tab -> Uncheck "Omit
trace actions" if it is checked). If "Omit trace actions" is already
unchecked, try the following -- Open the Output Panel's options menu, select
Filter Level -> Verbose.

If these don't work, please try an even simpler test with the following:

Create a new AS 2 FLA that has a timeline action:
trace("A");

Try the same with a new AS 3 FLA.

Do you use any third-party ActionScript code editors? Some of these softwares
can interfere with Flash's registry settings.

Thanks,
Nivesh
