Setting emulator debug options

The Adobe Device Central emulator can send debugging messages to the Flash Output panel while content is running; the emulator also displays a pop-up version of the Output panel showing the same messages.

The emulator reports the following types of information:

Trace messages that are generated by a trace() function call within your Flash Lite application. For more information about using trace(), see trace() in Flash Lite 1.x ActionScript Language Reference.

Information messages that contain general information about the selected test device, SWF file size, and other information. These messages appear in the emulator's Alert panel.

Warning messages that contain information about problems with your Flash Lite content that might affect playback.

You can filter the type of information that the emulator generates as follows.

To set Flash Lite output options:

  1. Select Control > Test Movie. Flash exports your application to Adobe Device Central and displays it in the emulator.
  2. Select View > Flash Output > Show in Device Central.
    • Select or deselect the Trace option.
    • Select or deselect the Information option.
    • Select or deselect the Warnings option.
