Hi Stewart,

The export traces is quite a dumb function to my bad. It just loops through the traces and writes them to a file. If this takes to long it might stall and quit the export.

I'll put it on my issue list.

Ferdi Koomen replied on November 05, 2009 15:07 to the problem "Debugger breaks NetConnection" in De Monsters:

Ahh yes, I know about that problem and I'll try to explain why I can't help you out with this one:

De MonsterDebugger uses 2 LocalConnection objects for it's communication. However there are some known bugs in Flash with having more than one LocalConnection: The garbage collector and NetConnection's will break from time to time :-(

But there is some good news: The next version (3.0) will have a Socket object for the communication so the problems with the NetConnection should go away.

Could you test something: If you initialize and trace something to De MonsterDebugger from a proxy or a mediator instead of the main class does is run then?

Ferdi Koomen replied on October 16, 2009 16:12 to the problem "The application filter does not hide irrelevant folders/classes." in De Monsters:

Hi Eric,

The reason for this is that the filter is not a search. We only load the first level of the live application so we don't know what’s in the deeper levels of your application. But we want to make sure users can navigate to deeper levels. That is why we leave the "folders" active. If you open a folder De MonsterDebugger will get the information from the client and filter out the data again. So folders are used for navigation.

Hope that helps.

Joost, our creative developer, found a nice fix for this problem and is testing his new memory monitor right now.

That is a good solution for now. I hope that we can find a nice way to work around the issues in the next major version in AIR 2.0. We'll keep you updated!

Ferdi Koomen replied on October 16, 2009 15:53 to the problem "Refresh Inspector - needs a shortcut anr/or auto refresh." in De Monsters:

Hi Eric,

The only problem is that we can't capture the F5 key from the NativeMenu in FLEX, but we already have a Ctrl + R shortcut for that. But we'll add a small refresh solution for now and look for a solid solution in the next major release.

Thanks for the reply and I hope you'll like the next update.

Ferdi Koomen replied on October 14, 2009 17:31 to the question "Not working with pureMVC app" in De Monsters:

This could be a different problem: Try testing your app on a live domain of local server like XAMPP. Due to security restrictions on the local connection between your client and De MonsterDebugger we can't always show the live view.

Ferdi Koomen replied on October 14, 2009 17:20 to the problem "JSON tracing problem" in De Monsters:

Ahh there was a problem with HTML text in the datagrid and textfields. We'll solve that for the next version. BTW it would also be cool to trace json like a tree structure... Might be something for a future version.
