AFTERTHOUGHT 2.1 - now with Search!

Since a user so kindly asked for it in the 2.0 release comments, I added search abilities to AFTERTHOUGHT! :D

AFTERTHOUGHT 2.1 Screenshot

Search area:
AFTERTHOUGHT 2.1 Search

The "Search" button starts at the top of the file and searches for the first occurance of the search string. If found, the "Search Again" button becomes active and you can search from the current location to the next occurance of the search string.

The options are to match upper/lower case in string (Match Case) and to find the search string as a whole word, not part of a word (Whole Word).

If the search string is found, it will be highlighted and the text area will move to the line with the found string.

Some other updates:

  • fixed display bug when stopping monitoring with highlighting on (highlight would stay set)
  • changed Empty Log button to clear log file both when monitoring and when not monitoring
  • fixed the horrible flickering of the output text field when loading a large pre-existing log file

So - download AFTERTHOUGHT 2.1 now!

If you already downloaded 2.0, simply replace both files with these new ones (really just the .exe file - the .dll is the same).

Enjoy!
g.

Hi,

I have downloaded the new version of your app and when I try to run it I get this error "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application."
Do you have any idea what might be the problem. I have the "Tarro.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox.dll" that comes in the ZIP file in the same folder.
Any help would be appreciated.

Great work.

sorry! i forgot to point out in this post (as i did in previous posts) that you need the .NET runtime installed on your machine -- otherwise you get that error message. you can find this on microsoft's site, or visit the download page at www.blazepdf.com for a link to it (under "Support Tools"). sorry.

Hi, how can I uninstall it? It keeps changing the mm.cfg even after I deleted it.

thanks.

Nice tool!
Of course this only works if I run my swf with the debug player at C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash 8\Players\Debug.

1) How can I force the Flash IDE to use this player? It does not work if I run from the Flash IDE now.

2) Where can I download the latest version of that debugger player and IE plugin? I did not find it at macromedia.com.

hi

this tool is useful but would be even greater IMHO with a function to make the window maximize when it catches new trace() if it's minimized, so you don't have to let it always on top and opened...

thanks & keep up the good work...

Your app is not working anymore with flash player 9!
Could you fix the path?
Or release the source code to allow the people to fix it?
regards

Hi Vlax,

It does work with FP9, you just have to change the path to your config file. If you search this blog for "afterthought", you'll find a later post that talks about this very issue and how to correct it. :)

Cheers, g.
