How to enable flash debugger?

Question

Could not find a solution anywhere.

I installed the Flash debugger projector from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html , but the debugger still does not start when I debug SWF (with debugging enabled) in Flash Pro CS5.

Does anyone have an idea of ​​what is going on?

Thanks for any help.

I don’t think you can debug SWFs as they do not contain ActionScript code. You can, however, get traces from SWF to a file if you include TraceOutputFileEnable=1 in the .cfg file. Additional information that may help here: http://www.actionscript.org/resources/articles/207/1/Trace-and-debug-ActionScript-from-your-browser/Page1.html and here http: // fatlinesofcode .philipandrews.org / 2009/03/28 / actionscript-debugging-within-the-browser /

Also check out this FireFox plugin: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashtracer/

Another option is the Begin Remote Debug Session in the Flash IDE. Traces will appear in the IDE's output window when the SWF opens in a browser.

If you have access to the code, you can try De MonsterDebugger (for this you will need to implement its classes inside SWF) http://demonsterdebugger.com/
