Debug Watch Panel in AS3 projects?
Is it just me, or does it not make sense that only ActionScript projects <= 2.0 get a proper "Watch" panel in which to specify watched expressions during ActionScript debugging? Seems to me that it should have been a natural assumtion we'd get something like this in Flash projects done in AS 3.0 by now. Does anyone on the forums know why this has yet to be implemented? Flash Builder has had this from the get-go, but I understand that this may likely be because that toolset is very developer-heavy and Flash CSx Professional is more of a designer-animation toolset.
But still, does anyone else find it annoying for large complex Flash projects done in CSx requires you to twirl down the list of ALL the variables and then all the nested variables in complex AS 3.0 objects just to find the one thing you are interested in seeing? Then having to do it all over again once you step over your breakpoints and try to observe changes to variables? This is frustrating to the max! I've made a request via the features wishlist so hopefully this will get implemented in some version.
Sorry, just venting. ![]()
