hi, thanx for the great stuff! it really speeds up debugging time!

btw: it would be very usefull if there were a "parent" property (similar to
the Alert.show() method) to route the FxSpy window. this is important for
air apps which often deal with many app windows.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a Popup in your application and invoke it using
PopUpManager.createPopup
2. Include flexSpy in your project.
3. On invoking FlexSpy, popups would not be shown in the Object Tree. Try
Finding the Component and it would still not highlight the Popup.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Popups should be displayed in the Object Tree

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Flex 3.0 Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a smallish Flex project (800x600, etc)
2. Add Flex Spy to your project and launch it.
3. The FlexSpy window is too large, filling the screen and not allow for
inspection

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It would be nice to allow arguments to be passed to the show() method that
lets the developer configure the launched panel.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.2

Please provide any additional information below.
I have some source files to fix this. They are attached.

how to spy objects inside the canvas layout

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a popup in your application and invoke it using 
PopUpManager.createPopUp(null, PopupClass, true);
2. Run your application and open FlexSpy

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The popup should be displayed in the "root" drop down menu.  Instead, I 
only see "Main".  In fact, if the popup is not modal, it does appear.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
FlexSpy 1.3, Flex 3.4, Windows

Please provide any additional information below.

First off, fxspy is great, and I love it already!  Saving me a lot of
design time.

There is a simple feature I'd like to see implemented.  If you want to edit
a component's properties/styles (right-hand datagrid), add a double-click
capability that lets you edit the property instead of always having to
click the little pencil icon.  Just a little accelerator that might be helpful.

I tried running a simple example using flex4 sdk and flexspy.
1. i get an error 

 Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

so, the question is does flexspy supports flex4 yet?

IT would be so nice and would help alot if it already does.

Hi!
Great work!
It would be great if you develop an AIR application based on the FxSpy
component, which allows users to inspect any flex application on the system
(as it Spy++ does for regular Win32 apps).
I am not sure if AIR sandbox will allow to implement "find objects using
mouse pointer" feature, when user can inspect flex UI objects under the
"crosshair" cursor. Still, i think it is possible to make this using .NET
on Windows or something different on other OSes (of course, if AIR supports
proper interoperability).
It would be a really helpful tool. Thanks.

It would be really nice to be able to execute arbitrary AS3 code from
flexspy.  Something similar to how the FireBug console allows you to enter
javascript and it returns the result to the logger.

Hi,

I am using you tool for some time now, it is really useful!

I was thinking about something to make it better. 
Would it be possible to add a "highlight" button.
This button would do the same a when an item is selected in the tree.
(yellow highlight).

Optionally, the FlexSpy windows could disapear during highlighting.

That would be great !

Using Flex 3 beta 2

FlexSpy is great.  There are a couple of limitations however:

1) FlexSpy's default root is Application.application.  This causes anyone
using to not see a large portion of their page in the object tree.

2) FlexSpy's 'Find Component' feature is somewhat inaccurate.  It doesn't
always narrow down to the last component in a tree.  For example:  You
cannot use the Find Component button to figure out what are the contents of
a grid cell.

I've added some code which seems to solve these 2 issues.  Please review,
and feel free to use this as you please.

The default root is now Application.application.systemManager, so you can
see the entire page hierarchy.

The only potential drawback, is in order to get this working, I had to set
"includeChrome" to false when calling ComponentTreeItem.getHitComponent().
 While this prevents chrome from being targeted, it greatly increases the
number of other components that are targetable.

Hope you find this helpful.

...

also it would be cool if there were an filter method which acts as a
include/exclude mechanism. with that we could explicit show/hide
displayobject and/or their properties. imagine you provide an app where you
let the user customize parts of the visuals. rolebased show/hide options
would be helpfull too.

thinking this over it would be nice too if it were possible to save the
style changes into a new .css file.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a project with a Swfloader and FlexSpy.
2. Load a precompiled swf into this Swfloader.  Eg
swfLoader.load("otherSwf.swf");
3. Run the project, and open FlexSpy.  You will see no information
displayed about the components inside SwfLoader.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would like to see the entire hierarchy for this swf inside of the
SwfLoader.  Instead I just see the child swfLoader, with only information
about the swfloader, and no information about the components inside.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
FlexSpy 1.3, Windows
