Hello,

I'm working on an AIR for iOS app. Every time I CTRL + ENTER to compile / test my file the output window hides. I have to give focus back to Flash Pro in order to see it. How can I lock the output window to be visible ?

If you dock the output window with the timeline, then you can still see it while testing movies. That becomes especially important when doing debug tests with the iOS Simulator.

I could swear in CS5.5 I was able to drag the output window to my secondary monitor and leave it there while compiling the movie in the other. Seems silly to me that the output window would vanish when compiling considering the only time the output window has any value is when the movie is compiled.

There have been changes with regard to whether teat movie was being handled by Flash itself, or a separate player. With debug movie it was already a separate player, and now with regular test movie it may be too. Hence the change.

Like I mentioned, once you get into debug tests with the iOS Simulator you would have hit the same issue, and docking with the timeline solves the problem there too. Also, if your swf crashes it hopefully won't bring all of Flash Pro with it.

If you want an "output" window that always stays openall the time then try Arthropod (http://arthropod.stopp.se) as a debugger.

You just import the Debug.as Class file and then instead of writing trace() statements you write Debug.log().
