my little extension to connect firefox error console to flash / silverlight application .

download add on:

Install Extension!

after installing this add on, you can simply call a trace function from flash, and send the message to the firefox error console.
it come up really handy in debugging live sites, when you must not use an output box on the screen.

flash as3 code :

import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
function tracer(msg:String){
ExternalInterface.call('fsTrace',msg);
}

that’s it, you will see your message in the error console.

after installing the add on you can use this simple flash demo to see how it works:

XAML Browser Application (XBAP) is a new Microsoft technology used for creating Rich Internet Applications.

i recently came across some kewl things made with xaml, so i tried to run some xbap files on my browser (’s if i’ll count both of them explorer and firefox …) but with no luck.

it ask to download the file, and don’t know how to show it.

after looking abit around i found a fix on microsoft site, it is a registry fix that will allow (hopefully :) ) all of your browsers to run wpf files.

go on and download wpf regtool

then you can search goooogle for “filetype:xbap”,

you will get 300+ xbap applications, some of them are really neat!

looking forward for them to release the new silverlight 2 beta 2 sdk….
