Here’s something else to check, if you can’t get your flashlog.txt to work. I created and saved my mm.cfg file in TextEdit, which by default saved it as RTF. Changing the mm.cfg file to ASCII text fixed the problem for me.

did you try maven with flexmojos plugin?
maybe it’s a little cumbersome for a tiny production, but it solves many problems related to testing swfs, or better, the feature that could be useful to you is related to testing (maven is a really huge project with lots of features):
actually it “forces” you to write test unit tests for your swfs which are executed once your code is compiled.
everything is launched via command line, so it could be scareing if you’re not addicted to the terminal\propt, but once it is in your daily you’re done

Thanks for the post. It didn’t actually solve my problem, but it sort of did indirectly I just started compiling SWFs directly from TextMate and couldn’t figure out why the FlashLog.txt wasn’t getting updated. Turns out it was simply because I was compiling my SWF and not viewing it. Gotta actually OPEN the SWF to update the output file. Duh! Now to figure out if there’s a way to automatically open the SWF after fcsh compiles it… Hmm…

Anyone having trouble on OS X with flash player 10.

Look in ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash\ Player/Logs/flashlog.txt

Insanity!

mm.cfg is generated automatically by some flash tracers, so you don’t need to worry about it. Check for example this tracer http://code.google.com/p/flash-tracer/
This is really user friendly.
