trace output missing

[battleline]

For some reason, I am no longer getting any output from my trace statements. Could I have turned my output off somehow? I tried restarting flash and restarting my machine. I've put trace statements in code I know is getting executed, but for some reason, my Output window remains empty.

Any suggestions?

Under File->Publish Settings->Flash tab...

Is the Omit trace actions box checked?

I did have this on, but turning it off did not help. Besides, I was using Control -> Test Movie to test the movie, so I wouldn't think that publish settings would make a difference.

Thanks

of course it does; Test Movie always publishes your movie

Since trace actions are only outputed when in authoring, then of course if the box is checked or not does make a difference...

If your traces are within conditional statements, then it's most probably that your conditions are never met... Add a simple trace message outside of any conditional statement - trace("Tracing to output window!"); - like on the first frame of your movie (with the Omit trace box unchecked...), to see if that message at least is outputed or not.

Well, at the moment it is not checked... and it does not appear to make a difference. :confused:

I've put trace statements at the beginning of all of my code in the first line of the program, as well as in the _root.onEnterFrame, so I'm not sure how the trace statements could not be executed. Also, at one point it was outputting trace statements and everything was working fine.

Thanks for your help. :)

Maybe this particular project is corrupted... Have you tried a simple message trace in a new .fla?

If it still does't appear, then maybe you need to re-install.
