0000006: Memory, Internal Events, Performance Profilers are not active in "Try online" example

Tue, 21 Aug 2012 17:35:46 +0000

Memory, Internal Events, Performance Profilers are not active at the examples (e.g. http://www.sociodox.com/theminer/try_particles.html [^]).
Runtime statistics and other functionality works fine though.

0000038: Performance profiler issues (1.3.20)

Tue, 07 Aug 2012 01:15:10 +0000

Please, look at this code:
package
{
import com.sociodox.theminer.TheMiner;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.StageAlign;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.events.Event;

/**
* ...
* @author focus
*/
public class Main extends Sprite
{
private var vec:Vector.;

public function Main():void
{
if (stage) init();
else this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
}

private function init(e:Event = null):void
{
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;

this.removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
this.addChild(new TheMiner());

vec = new Vector.();
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onThisEnterFrame);
}

private function onThisEnterFrame(e:Event):void
{
vec.push(new MovieClip());
}
}
}

And at this sceenshot:
http://j.mp/GHiehz [^]
As you can see, I see this data in hint:
global/flash.sampler::startSampling()
com.sociodox.theminer.manager::Analytics$/Track()
com.sociodox.theminer.window::PerformanceProfiler()
com.sociodox.theminer::TheMiner/ChangeTool()
com.sociodox.theminer::TheMiner/OnEnterFrame()
[enterFrameEvent]()

But I think this enterFrameEvent should be cleaned from profiler output.

Now I recompiled the same source and see this in the performance profiler:
http://j.mp/GCKEGC [^]
As you can see, I see only
flash.display::MovieClip()
Main/onThisEnterFrame()
[enterFrameEvent]()
in hint for the flash.display::MovieClip
Also I still see the [-enterFrameEvent] from the deep of TheMiner

I enabled Performance Profiler continuous profiling and see this for the [-enterFrameEvent] now:
http://j.mp/GCH1nR [^]
Only
[verify]()
[enterFrameEvent]()

And see this for the flash.display::MovieClip:
http://j.mp/GCHkix [^]
flash.display::Sprite/constructChildren()
flash.display::Sprite()
flash.display::MovieClip()
Main/onThisEnterFrame()
[enterFrameEvent]()

why this time hints for the [enterFrameEvent] and flash.display::MovieClip so different to hints when performance profiler's continuous profiling option is disabled?

I recompiled and restarted that SWF once again (with performance profiler's continuous profiling enabled) and now I see this hints:
[-enterFrameEvent]:
http://j.mp/GCI5bA [^]
Main/onThisEnterFrame
http://j.mp/GCI8E3 [^]

Recompiled once again and see this:
Main/onThisEnterFrame:
http://j.mp/GCIuuk [^]

[avm1]:
http://j.mp/GCIA5e [^]

[reap]:
http://j.mp/GCIIBP [^]

Recompiled again:
[reap]:
http://j.mp/GCIQkG [^]

Disabled performance profiler's continuous profiling and recompiled again:
[avm1]:
http://j.mp/GCOy2c [^]

[mouseEvent]
http://j.mp/GCOz6k [^] - looks like another thing from the deep of TheMineer

Looks like output differs in the same environment from compile\run to compile\run.

0000039: Global Crash

Wed, 13 Jun 2012 01:14:56 +0000

I have been using the Miner Pro successfully for a few weeks now, thanks a lot for thins great tool!
However, since a few hours, it doesn't work anymore, and I didn't manage to find what happened.
I just recompiled the main flash I use, and nothing works anymore: now when I launch it (or any other flash content), it just displays the Miner toolbar (but clicking on any icon does nothing), and the flash
content never loads.

0000040: Embedding TheMiner 1.3.20 as SWC does not work

Wed, 13 Jun 2012 01:13:06 +0000

0000037: Internal Events profiler pause button issues (1.3.20)

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 16:20:12 +0000

Step-by-step:
- open Internal Events profiler and roll over Pause button: http://j.mp/GDNadq [^]
we don't see hint for it - it's showed outside the visible area (we can see only small part of it)
- press pause button: http://j.mp/GDNpVI [^]
all looks fine (except we don't see the hint)
- press the play button: http://j.mp/GDNEA3 [^]
profiling continued, but icon is not changed to Pause until I roll out mouse from the button
Looks like this issue with icon is actual for all pause\play buttons.

0000036: Hint for the rows in the Memory Profiler is not removed (1.3.20)

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 16:18:23 +0000

Hint for rows in the Memory Profiler is not removed as I roll out mouse from filled by data rows to empty rows or even from Flash Player window:
http://j.mp/GEA07c [^]

0000035: Save ALL buttons behavior - two issues (1.3.20)

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 16:16:52 +0000

When I press Save ALL button, it saves values differ from what I see in the table:
http://j.mp/GEzA0t [^]

I have swf running at 60 FPS, and 1 FPS table update speed - so every second I see 60 Event instances added, as I should see because I have EnterFrame event listener. But in Saved to clipboard data I see only 27 Event instances added.

---

Screenshot: http://j.mp/GDOa1b [^]
If I pressed pause at profiler and pressed Save all button then - I have some mysterious values copied into the clipboard, but I expect to see the data exact as at the table in paused state.
This is actual for both Memory and performance profilers.

---

In case of second issue is really an issue but not a bug, could be nice to see filtered by QName data (if table was filtered by QName) in clipboard after Copy ALL button pressed in the profiler.

0000034: Two buttons issues (1.3.20)

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 16:12:55 +0000

Step-by-step:
- open swf: http://j.mp/GEFYll [^]
- roll over Memory Profiler button: http://j.mp/GEndef [^]
please note we see the tooltip over button
also note how the memory profiler icon look - it's grey with bevel - it's OK

- click on the memory profiler icon: http://j.mp/GEGq2Z [^]
as you can see, we don't see the button tooltip any longer - we see a small gray stroke instead
Now if we roll out mouse from the Memory Profiler button and roll over again - we will see that hint as expected

also, please, note how icon look changed - it's now with orange bevel - it's OK

- click on the memory profiler icon once again: http://j.mp/GJcX7A [^]
as you can see, icon look is not changed. But I expect it to change to the normal roll over look - gray with bevel, as it was on this screenshot: http://j.mp/GEndef [^]

Another step-by-step:
- open Memory Profiler tab: http://j.mp/GEyyS8 [^]
we see table is sorted by Cumul column, it's OK
- roll over the Current column sort button: http://j.mp/GEyMbV [^]
we see the hint and button roll-overed state, it's OK
- click this button: http://j.mp/GEyS3i [^]
We see the same issue as for the MemoryProfiler button - hint is absent
Table sorted, it's OK
- click to that button once again: http://j.mp/GEz1DP [^]
Hint appeared.
- roll out the mouse from button: http://j.mp/GEzaap [^]
button selection is gone! Now I can't see which column is sorted Current or Cumul

0000030: Memory profiler items duplicates

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 16:08:25 +0000

I see different counts for the same items in a different lines.
This is a snapshot of the Memory profiler (with autostart enabled) in the empty as3 Flash Develop project with additional code creating a new BitmapData and adding a Bitmap with it on the DisplayList:

flash.events::MouseEvent 0 0 0 1011
Object 0 0 290 290
Object 0 0 268 268
Function 0 0 227 227
Function 0 0 227 227
String 0 0 37 88
Class 0 0 46 46
Class 0 0 36 36
Namespace 0 0 0 24

flash.display::BitmapData 0 0 2 2
flash.events::Event 0 0 0 2

flash.display::Bitmap 0 0 2 2
flash.display::MovieClip 0 0 2 2
flash.display::BitmapData 0 0 1 1
Error 0 0 1 1
flash.system::ApplicationDomain 0 0 1 1
flash.system::ApplicationDomain 0 0 1 1
flash.display::Bitmap 0 0 1 1
Error 0 0 1 1

flash.display::LoaderInfo 0 0 1 1
flash.events::EventDispatcher 0 0 1 1
flash.display::Graphics 0 0 1 1
flash.system::ApplicationDomain 0 0 1 1

As you can see, there are duplicated lines for the
flash.display::BitmapData, flash.display::Bitmap, and many other.

Maybe we should see the total counts in one line, e.g
flash.display::BitmapData 0 0 3 3
instead of duplicates, e.g.
flash.display::BitmapData 0 0 2 2
flash.display::BitmapData 0 0 1 1

?

Attached compiled empty project with this issue.

0000008: TheMiner special skin or like so for mobile

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 16:04:49 +0000

It's really, really hard to use TheMiner on the touch-enabled mobile devices - icons are too small =( Could be very cool to be able to make (or have) a skin with enlarged controls or have some special method\build for this reason.

0000024: Memory profiler skips objects collecting

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 16:00:19 +0000

Looks like memory profiler doesn't notice when some objects are collected. Try to profile the GreenSock as3 speed test (http://www.greensock.com/tweening-speed-test/ [^]) with Tweening Engine = TweenLite selected.

You'll see how fast PropTween "current" value is growing there. But in fact, it's not growing so much - it's collected with GC sometimes. Otherwise, we'll see the memory graph growing, but it is not.

0000033: Add and Del values in memory profiler row hint are differ from the same values at the rows (1.3.20)

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 15:57:03 +0000

Please, check this screenshot out:
http://j.mp/GFSKxL [^]
Why the Add and Del values in hint are differ from the same values at the rows?

0000032: Overdraw and DisplayObject Life Cycle profilers count themselves (1.3.20)

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 15:53:08 +0000

Overdraw profiler shows DisplayObjectOnStage: 2 and MaxDeph: 2 for absolutely empty project.
Looks like it counts itself? Could be nice to remove self-count or add note to the status bar about self DisplayObjects count.
Same to the DisplayObjectLifeCycle at the DisplayObject Life Cycle profiler, except it shows DisplayObjectOnStage:11 for the same empty project.

0000013: TheMiner collects self functions onto the Trace dump

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 16:09:24 +0000

I found lines like:

com.google.analytics.core::IdleTimer/onMouseMove() (project was without analytics, it's definitely from the TheMiner internal analytics) flash.events::MouseEvent@30fed01

com.sociodox.theminer::TheMiner/_-0v() flash.events::Event@c495219

com.sociodox.theminer.ui::ToolTip$/set Visible() false

com.sociodox.theminer.ui.button::MenuButton/_-3V() flash.events::MouseEvent@30fed01

inside of the Trace execution dump. Could be nice to skip self traces here to keep dump as clean as possible.

0000017: Crash might happen in the SWC version when trying to load the Version status from socodox website

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 09:49:22 +0000

There is a Security loadPolicyFile error when loading the version file
Security.loadPolicyFile( ‘http://another-server/crossdomain.xml [^]’ );

0000002: Could be nice to be able to change sorting direction

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 08:09:49 +0000

I'd like to request two-direction sorting in any sorting-enabled column in profilers - not only from bigger to smaller, but also from smaller to bigger.

0000009: DisplayObject life cycle profiler colors fade speed

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 06:44:20 +0000

Could be nice to have an option to set the DisplayObject life cycle
colors fade speed in frames (with default 1 frame) - to keep
DisplayObjects colored a bit longer. This could be a some kind of separate option in settings.

0000004: Mouse Listeners profiler ignores TouchEvents

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 16:01:24 +0000

Looks like the Mouse Listeners profiler doesn't "see" the TouchEvents.

0000023: TheMiner buttons are very small in mobile

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 10:43:37 +0000

TheMiner buttons are very small in mobile, like 2x2 millimeters.
It's impossible to navigate with taps... The buttons have to be dynamically adjusted based on screen resolution or display DPI.

0000010: High tutorial videos quality

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 08:33:40 +0000

Tutorial videos are great, but I think they could be even
greater with:

- higher video quality (e.g. 720p) - in some videos it's almost impossible to read text you're talking about(

- louder voice without background noise. It's not easy to listen tutorials because of voise is much, much quieter then intro and I always should turn down volume at the start of tutorial and turn it up again after intro to hear voice.

0000020: Show info concerning GPU usage

Sat, 18 Feb 2012 19:33:15 +0000

It would be nice if we could see if a flash is using the GPU while playing.
Interesting information:
- whether or not GPU acceleration is supported
-- if not, why not: hardware insufficient, a setting which disables GPU...
- if GPU acceleration is used, show which commands are being executed on the GPU

=> fake the LogGPU mm.cfg setting

This request is in response to my comments here: http://jpauclair.net/mm-cfg-secrets/#comment-2279 [^]

0000028: Click on a menu and clicking on it again doesn't close the profiler

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:44:04 +0000

Report has been done multiple time to close the profiler once open by re-clicking on the icon

0000031: Save ScreenCapture to file doesn't work in 1.3.20

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 23:42:15 +0000

When I press this button, I just see tooltip "Saved", but nothing happens.
