But it’s free! ;)

I’ve started using it instead of Thunderbolt. Can’t wait for the full functionality. Nice work.

so what’s the easiest way to use Xray with AS3 in the CS3 IDE? still no as3 connector on osflash!

it’s a shame that such a simply effing great and easy to use tool, isn’t being given the attention it deserves :~(

I haven’t revisited this in a long while. Not sure what the status of XRay is any more.

I’m trying to get Xray to work with flashdevelop but can’t seem to figure it out.

I can see the output tracing alright, but how can i get the application view to connect?

when i hit on “_level0″ “go” button, I get :
(12271)
view tree called

_level0

(12272)
stage is not initialized

(12272)
inspect object error: stage

Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

did anyone get this to work properly?

pls help thx

BTW, In February 2007 John has released the a href=”http://www.rockonflash.com/xray/downloads/connector/AS3_FLEX2_CONNECTOR_ALPHA.zip”>Very Alpha of Xray Flex2 Connector!

So now you can inspect/debug your flex application.

Usage:

import com.blitzagency.xray.inspector.flex2.Xray;
// instantiate Xray:
private var xray:Xray = new Xray();

There’s small and only one error (or rather misprint) you must fix in downloaded sources to make it compile correctly. You must replace the uppercase “F” to lowercase “f” in the “Flex2″ imported package name in the com.blitzagency.xray.inspector.flex2.Xray.as file, so the correct import should look like:

import com.blitzagency.xray.inspector.flex2.FlexObjectInspector;

Happy Xraying!

I had the same problem, just click ok and then click on the Output tab (on the right). Then make sure you have the “Show Output?”, you should start to see the basic trace.

The AS3 connector John wrote for Flex has an OutputPanel that you can use inside the Flex/AS3 applications without using the XRay console.

Note that the AS3 connector is in its early stages with basic tracing functions working, John will working on more and more features and time goes by.

Haven’t been able to make it work under Flash Alpha 9 preview. In a simple class, i do this:

import com.blitzagency.xray.logger.XrayLog;
var log = new XrayLog();
log.debug( “hello”, this );

but the console says “no swf is available to connect with”. Any idea what’s wrong?

thanks!
