Problem
You want to be able to see trace statements etc. whether your application is in Test Movie mode, running locally over HTTP or running remotely over HTTP in the browser plug-in. You don’t want to use the the Flash Debugger and you don’t want to have to install Flash Debug players. You just want to see trace() statements – in a more aesthetically pleasing window if possible..

Cannot install Flash Player on Windows?

Problem
You’re having trouble installing the Flash Player Active X control on Windows. Every time you run the installer it quits, recommending an Adobe Technote. The trouble is this doesn’t solve the problem either. You’ve uninstalled the previous player, quit all apps, still no joy.
Solution
In this situation the cause is probably incorrect registry permissions. You can correct this by using Microsoft’s SubInACL tool. It is available here bundled with a script which will whip through your registry granting full permissions to administrators for the appropriate keys. You should then have no problem running the Flash Player installer.

Checking our stats, we just saw that some people are searching for “why use init methods as3″. There are several reasons to consider using init methods in AS3, rather than have all of your initialisation code in your constructor functions:
- Constructor functions run slower than “regular” methods. (See here for details.)
- You might want to re-run initialisation code without recreating the instance.
- You might want to run delayed initialisation code, for example once an object has been added to the Display List. (See our post here regarding this issue.)
