Check your OS (and other nifty stuff) with Actionscript 3.0

It’s funny how you find things when you’re not looking for them, in the case that you require to know which OS is your client running, there’s a pretty cool system class by the name of Capabilities in AS3 that handles this.
import flash.system.Capabilities;

trace("my Operative System is "+Capabilities.os);

You can also use it to find out the running Flash player version (down to Flash Player 6), test media decoders and even screen resolution, the values can also be sent from the server via GET and POST methods. You can read up properties in here: here

Debugging in FDT

leo — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 00:28:19 +0000

If you’re like me, you googled up “debugging fdt” and probably wound up using this tutorial or a similar one. Some of you might have found the end of your problems either there or reinstalling your Flash Debug Player but if you didn’t, check if you entered a newline break while adding “debug=true” to the Compiler Arguments. I was mislead by the image on the aforementioned tutorial and spent some time breaking my head over this.
Hope this helps anyone that’s going through the same issue!
