Publishing
When testing your script, use the File > Publish menu option in Macromedia Flash MX. The
Shockwave file is in the same place as the FLA file after publishing.
Debugging
Fireworks provides two functions to help debug Flash panel ActionScript (for more
information, see “fw.enableFlashDebugging()” on page 312 and
“fw.disableFlashDebugging()” on page 311). Use the Flash debugging functions to show or
hide everything that the Shockwave file passes to the Fireworks API during execution. Place
these debug functions around the suspect code in your Macromedia Flash ActionScript to
turn the debugging functions on or off as needed. Be careful to use these functions only
around “suspect” code; otherwise, you might encounter a long series of dialog box statements.
