I'm having an issue with a Flash/Flex erroring in Firefox but not IE. I need to see the error that the Flash/Flex app is getting from the ASP.NET app. Is there any way to debug the response that Flash/Flex is getting?
Install the Debug version of the FlashPlayer for Firefox. Maybe this is already enough and an Error might pop up.
If not use the FlexBuilder and debug the Flex application. If you don't have a license for the FlexBuilder you may also use the Evaluation licence.
Remember that you can also observe the network traffic from firebug, even for flash apps.
Depending on how you are making calls to your ASP.net app - you could use something like LiveHTTPHeaders to see the url that your flex app is call and see what response is being sent back from the server (i.e. 200, 404, 503, etc...)
Also - you could use something like Charles to do the same thing but actually see the full response from the server (be it images, text, xml...) and not just the header info.

Not sure what I did and I can't seem to see my RPC Services anymore. They are there and I can see them and get responses to their paths, but I can't see them through the Apigility/Admin screen.
The error is telling that either the config files are missing or may be even the code itself. When the code is missing normally you see "Unable to fetch code" or similar, so most probably you are missing config files.
It could also be a simple markup problem due to a strange char.
Since the Apigility GUI uses the Apigility API, you can use Firebug to check what is wrong.
Open Firefox and check the tab "Network". Now try to create a service and check the requests, you will probably find a dump with the Exception / Error that you are looking for.
How do I use Robot Framework Selenium to control a regular browser that I can see, and that doesn't exit after finishing a test?
You can't. You cannot get a handle on an already open browser. You can, however, open your browser with the test and then not close it. The browser will remain open for you to interact with it.
If you absolutely must have this functionality, you could try using the remote library interface. The remote library could act as a proxy to the selenium keywords. It could open a browser and keep it open for as long as the remote library server is running. My guess is that this would take a lot of work, and I don't see any real benefit in doing it.
Intermittently, my team's (overweight) VS2010 solution fails to load in the debugger. We get informed that "The web server did not respond in a timely manner".
Workarounds for when this happens:
Build, then debug (but not hitting F5 before building)
IIS Reset
Killing other apps, or closing extra open tabs in my other browser (debugging in IE, browsing stuff/keeping Gmail open in Opera)
Is there a registry key we could set that would make the response timeout longer, or similar?
I've found the hint of an answer here:
There are registry keys that control timeouts for VS's debugger. As these are generally not documented, it's a matter of trial and error from here.
So far I've been toying with HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\(version number)\Debugger\ScriptDocsTimeout
I'm working with a Flex 4 application (MXML and ActionScript front-end using BlazeDS and Java back-end) and I am trying to find the origin of an error.
The user sometimes (maybe once a week) gets a pop-up window with "RPC Error" in their web browser. If they retry the operation, they get the same error. Restarting the browser or maybe just reloading the page makes the error go away. Looking in the server log, I don't see any error on the server side. How can I figure out the cause of the RPC error? Can I configure some setting in the browser or Flash player to get additional info?
Thanks for any ideas. I've searched the web & some forums including SO but I've come up empty-handed.
Edit: in this case it appears the problem was loss of the network connection (user was connected via cell modem). I'm still interested in any ideas about how to troubleshoot this problem.
I like to do my development in Firefox and using Firebug as a console. When the Flex app starts, open up Firebug and look at the Net tab. It will bring up all the RPC calls made while Flex is initializing, which can be very useful for these kinds of bugs.
I'm a C++ programmer, but I'm a newbie in Flex. I'm developing a Flex 3 application for a social network using the FlashDevelop. For debugging I'm using the stand-alone FlashPlayer (10.3 debug) downloaded from Adobe. The application is a simple audio player which shows artist/album images.
The application worked properly on both local computer and remote server until I made some layout changes in Main.mxml. I added some HBoxes and changed Image placement. After that the application still works on my local computer, but it doesn't work properly after I upload it to a server.
Application buttons are not highlighted on over/out/click events, images loaded from the Internet are not displayed, text changed dynamically is not displayed, but when I click buttons a sound file is loaded from the internet and starts playing. It looks like some events which are responsible for components displaying are not dispatched, because some part of functionality not related to displaying still works.
To make sure that this is not a server problem, I rolled back to the previous revision. All works fine.
I suppose that this is a known issue, but I have no idea what is the reason.
Could anyone please help me to resolve the issue?
Thanks.
UDP: I observed the issue in IE and FF, I didn't test Opera and Chrome.
Are you tying to access the pixel data of the images in the new version? If so, that might be the problem, as pixel data for loaded images is not (always) accessible so that might throw a security error, which in turns breaks the rest of the interface.
Also, did you try running the remote version in the debugger? If so, is there any exception being thrown?
And no, it's not a known issue, it's the kind of annoying and hard to debug error that you sometime get when using the Flex SDK.
