g.wygonik's flash experiments

Debugging Flash has just became easier, thanks to Gregg Wygonik.

Gregg discovers how debug player can log trace() output to a log file. Undocumented for Flash, but documented for Flex...

It turns out that debug player logs more than just trace() statements, warnings you never see gets logged. Debug player is even intelligent enough to guess a probable case mismatch.

Downloaded the Flash Player 9 r28 Debug version today and found that i no longer get any trace() output to my log file.

Matt Chotin:
the location of flashlog.txt might have changed in this release in order to support Vista.

As of Flash Player version 9,0,28,0, Adobe has stopped using the mm.cfg file and changed the location of flashlog.txt.
