Troubleshooting

If you do not see anything in your Vizzy debug screen, please check the following:

Debug Flash Player

Check that you have debug flash player installed instead if a regular one. To check, just right click on your any flash object and if you see Debugger option there, then you have debug flash player installed. Install debug Flash Players from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

mm.cfg

Check that you have mm.cfg file in your user's directory (Macintosh OS X: /Library/Application Support/Macromedia, Windows 2000/XP: c:\Documents and Settings\username\, Windows Vista: C:\Users\username, Linux: /home/username) If it does not exist, please create mm.cfg in that directlry with 2 lines of content:

TraceOutputFileEnable=1
ErrorReportingEnable=1

This should work!

run

If your Vizzy does not run as described in "How To Launch" chapter, please try to run it from command line: open your shell windows and go to the Vizzy directory. Type java -jar Vizzy.jar
