I was looking around for ages not realising vista hides this folder while in c:\users\...it isnt seemingly here but it is ! then copy the config file there and something/or the debug player creates this file.

From CMD you can CD %USERPROFILE% To change folder to your home folder... or you can... ECHO %USERPROFILE% to display the home folder.... So locating the flashlog.txt in Windows is better done as... "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\Logs\flashlog.txt" This way you can setup tools for your whole team / interactive department... and that's nice.

From CMD you can

CD %USERPROFILE%

To change folder to your home folder…

or you can…

ECHO %USERPROFILE%

to display the home folder….

So locating the flashlog.txt in Windows is better done as…

“%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\Logs\flashlog.txt”

This way you can setup tools for your whole team / interactive department… and that’s nice.

You will have to create the file yourself. The definitive location of the log file in Linux is... ~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/Logs/flashlog.txt Please don't use /home/$USERNAME$/ since this requires you to define the USERNAME yourself, ~/ is always defined as your home folder on a unix/linux system, including Mac Os X. On Linux / Unix - you can use.. tail -f ~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/Logs/flashlog.txt Which will view the the progress of the flashlog.txt in a terminal window. On Mac Os X use the Console to view the file. On Windows, you can get numerous tail-alike programs, Windows 2003 Server Resource kit from Microsoft includes a tail.exe, there's also Cygwin so you can use unix tail.

I can't seem to find any file named mm.cfg or logfile.txt on my computer. I would like to be able to use the trace() function and also view runtime errors when they occur. Would anybody know why these files don't exist? Thanks, Garret Hi guys,
