debugPlaybackEnabled

Syntax

    debugPlaybackEnabled

Description

Property; opens a Message window for debugging purposes in Shockwave and projectors. It does not have any effect when used in the Director application. Once the Message window is closed, it cannot be re-opened for a particular Shockwave or projector session. If more than one shockwave movie uses this Lingo in a single browser, only the first will open a Message window, and the Message window will be tied to the first movie alone.

To open this Message window, set the `debugPlaybackEnabled` property to `TRUE`. To close the window, set the `debugPlaybackEnabled` property to `FALSE`.

Note: In Shockwave on the Macintosh, rather than a Message window being opened, a log file is generated to allow "put" statements to output data for debugging purposes. This file is located in the Shockwave 8 folder at HardDrive:System Folder:Extensions:Macromedia:Shockwave 8.
