On Microsoft Windows XP, the default location was \Documents and Settings\user_name. On Microsoft
Windows 2000, the default location was \. For earlier versions of Flash Player on Windows XP and 2000, the
location of the mm.cfg file was determined by the
HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH environment variables.
The following table lists the properties that you can set in the mm.cfg file:
The following sample mm.cfg file enables error reporting and trace logging:
ErrorReportingEnable=1
TraceOutputFileEnable=1
Property Description
ErrorReportingEnable
Enables the logging of error messages.
Set the ErrorReportingEnable property to 1 to enable the debugger version of Flash Player to
write error messages to the log file. To disable logging of error messages, set the
ErrorReportingEnable property to 0.
The default value is 0.
MaxWarnings
Sets the number of warnings to log before stopping.
The default value of the MaxWarnings property is 100. After 100 messages, the debugger version of
Flash Player writes a message to the file stating that further error messages will be suppressed.
Set the MaxWarnings property to override the default message limit. For example, you can set it to
500 to capture 500 error messages.
Set the MaxWarnings property to 0 to remove the limit so that all error messages are recorded.
TraceOutputFileEnable
Enables trace logging.
Set TraceOutputFileEnable to 1 to enable the debugger version of Flash Player to write trace
messages to the log file. Disable trace logging by setting the
TraceOutputFileEnable property to
0.
The default value is 0.
TraceOutputFileName
Note: Beginning with the Flash Player 9 Update, Flash Player ignores the TraceOutputFileName
property and stores the flashlog.txt file in a hard-coded location based on operating system. For more
information, see
“Log file location” on page 231.
Sets the location of the log file. By default, the debugger version of Flash Player writes error messages
to a file named flashlog.txt, located in the same directory in which the mm.cfg file is located.
Set TraceOutputFileName to override the default name and location of the log file by specifying a
new location and name in the following form: On Macintosh OS X, you should use colons to separate
directories in the TraceOutputFileName path rather than slashes.
TraceOutputFileName=<fully qualified path/filename>
