ABSTRACT

The general approach Every debugging exercise is going to be different. Unfortunately I can’t offer a step-by-step cureall. What I can offer, however, are some general guidelines and lots of advice on how to use Director’s many debugging tools to the best effect. But there is one golden rule: always save several copies of your movie. One method is to name the movie with consecutive numbers, which is the technique I prefer; other developers have their own preferences.The first save of a movie will be ‘mymovie01.dir’; when saving after a half-day session, save the movie as ‘mymovie02.dir’. In this way you can always step back to a point where your movie worked.
