debugPlaybackEnabled

Usage

-- Lingo syntax

_player.debugPlaybackEnabled

// JavaScript syntax

_player.debugPlaybackEnabled;

Description

Player property; in Windows, opens a Message window for debugging purposes in Shockwave

and projectors. On the Macintosh, a log file is generated to allow

put statements to output data

for debugging purposes. Read/write.

In Windows, this property does not have any effect when used in the Director application. Once

the Message window is closed, it cannot be reopened for a particular Shockwave Player or

projector session. If more than one movie with Shockwave content uses this script in a single

browser, only the first will open a Message window, and the Message window will be tied to the

first movie alone.

On the Macintosh, the generated log file is located in the Shockwave Player folder at HardDrive/

System Folder/Extensions/Macromedia/Shockwave.

To open this Message window, set the

debugPlaybackEnabled property to TRUE. To close the

window, set the

debugPlaybackEnabled property to FALSE.

Example

This statement opens the Message window in either Shockwave Player or a projector:

-- Lingo syntax

_player.debugPlaybackEnabled = TRUE

// JavaScript syntax

_player.debugPlaybackEnabled = true;
