Last updated 12/8/2009 EXTENDING FIREWORKS 297 Cross-Product Extensions Debugging Fireworks provides two functions to help debug Flash panel ActionScript (for more information, see fw.enableFlashDebugging()and fw.disableFlashDebugging()). Use the Flash debugging functions to show or hide everything that the Shockwave file passes to the Fireworks API during execution. Place these debug functions around the suspect code in your Adobe Flash ActionScript to turn the debugging functions on or off as needed. Be careful to use these functions only around "suspect" code; otherwise, you might encounter a long series of dialog box statements.
