1. Re: How to prevent output window scrolling to top when more output is added?
kglad Oct 19, 2012 1:00 PM (in response to xTLS)search for info on mm.cfg and your OS. see if there's a setting to help with your problem.

xTLS Oct 19, 2012 1:34 PM (in response to kglad)I don't see anything that is related to the issue I'm describing with the Output panel in the Flash Professional IDE. Could you be a little more specific?

kglad Oct 19, 2012 2:22 PM (in response to xTLS)i don't exactly understand your problem so i can't be too specific. i understand what you're describing but what you're describing is not the default behavior of the output panel unless you're describing its behavior after a certain amount of lines of output.
to learn more about many of the settings that govern the output panel, start with: http://jpauclair.net/2010/02/10/mmcfg-treasure/

xTLS Oct 19, 2012 3:16 PM (in response to kglad)What version of Flash are you using? Older versions behaved the desirable way, they scrolled continuously to display the bottom (i.e. most recent) line of output. CS6 scrolls *up* when a new line is added, and it doesn't matter how many lines have been outputted. I'm not talking about thousands of lines of output, I'm talking about as soon as there are enough lines for a scroll bar to appear.
The settings described in that page mostly govern the text file log generated by Flash Player. It doesn't describe interaction with the Output window.

xTLS Oct 19, 2012 3:45 PM (in response to kglad)...ah. Hmm. Maybe it's an issue specific to my computer... I'll try to test it on another computer. I had tried turning word wrap on or off but it didn't make a difference.

kglad Oct 19, 2012 5:27 PM (in response to xTLS)if needed, you can simply direct all trace output to an on-stage textfield whose scrollH property you assign to maxScrollH.

xTLS Oct 19, 2012 5:50 PM (in response to kglad)Here's what I've found from testing more:
The issue always occurs on my desktop and laptop, as soon as the number of lines exceeds the size of the output panel and the scrollbar appears. It doesn't occur on my computer at work until there are hundreds or thousands of lines in the output window. My personal computers are Windows 7 Home Premium, the one at work is Windows 7 Professional. I have Flash Pro and the Flash Builder 4.7 beta installed on all three systems and am using the latest AIR SDK (3.4) on all three.
I've also found if I make the mm.cfg file and put TraceOutputBuffered = 1 in it, my computer at work will never exhibit the problem unless I manually scroll the output. Once I manually scroll the output, even if I scroll back to the bottom, it switches to auto-scrolling up. However, putting that line in the mm.cfg file on my personal computers did nothing.
Not that it actually helps much, but out of curiousity, would you mind testing whether your CS6 starts exhibiting the scrolling up behavior if you manually scroll the output window?

9. Re: How to prevent output window scrolling to top when more output is added?
kglad Oct 20, 2012 8:00 AM (in response to xTLS)with my cs6 and win vista (home), win 7 (work), if i manually (whether using the scrollbar or mouse wheel) scroll during repeated trace output, the output panel keeps auto-scrolling to the most recent (bottom) traces unless i am persistant. with persistance i can get it to stop scrolling the bottom most-recent traces. however, if i then manually scroll to the bottom most-recent traces, and release the scrollbar, it will continue to auto-scroll to the bottom most-recent traces.

cmay@Coke Jun 5, 2013 8:05 AM (in response to xTLS)I am getting this same issue, did anyone ever find a solution? I'm trying to trace some code based on mouse movememnts, so I cannot mess with the output window scrollbar while previewing the swf.

xTLS Jun 5, 2013 10:24 AM (in response to kglad)What kind of text viewer is going to update the log in real time and keep scrolled to the bottom?

15. Re: How to prevent output window scrolling to top when more output is added?
kglad Jun 5, 2013 5:47 PM (in response to xTLS)did you try resetting your flash preferences: Hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) or Shift+Command+Option (Mac) prior to launching Flash Professional. If this interferes with an OS dialog, hold this keyboard combination immediately after launching Flash until you see the prompt to reset preferences.

BlooZephyr Nov 20, 2013 3:57 PM (in response to xTLS)I found a solution that works for me. You just need to resize the output window.

Amy Blankenship Nov 21, 2013 6:32 AM (in response to BlooZephyr)Another solution is to do your coding and debugging in Flash Builder, which is better suited to the tasks anyway (and doesn't do this).
