I can't seem to run it with beta7 at home (I think it worked at my workplace), but it works with the SVN build.

It must be noted that the plugin is really unstable - it is for early testing only.

The plugin couldn't locate the standalone Flash player (ie. projector).

Can be found with a "flash debug player" google search. Run it once to associate .SWF files with the projector.

(reading the code) This message is sent when it checks the project classpath - I guess it expects your code is in a sub folder in the project (and you have an appropriate classpath).

Found the issue: in PluginMain::AddSciEvent(), the line 'sci.ModEventMask |= ...' is causing the trouble.
To be investigated...

Doesnt work for me (with last SVN version of FD3). On selecting Toggle/Clear breakpoint from menu flashdevelop becomes Not Responding.

this issue is fixed by this Change.(in SVN)
FD3¥FlashDevelop¥MainForm.cs::OnScintillaControlModified

fdbPlugin0.1.1.0_src.zip includes this patch.
fdbPlugin0.1.1.0.zip includes fixed FlashDevelop.exe.

Thanks for this great addition!

Everything worked perfect when i first installed the plugin and left it there.

Now that i wanted to debug, nothing appears in the Local Variables!

the changes i made since the working moment:
- created two layouts development/debug
- launched multiple instances of flashdevelop

might any of these task changed anything that broke the plugin!?

it was tracing and showing all local variables perfect before :S

any ideas? thx

EDIT: Ah now I see! Please ignore my question. I could trace the variable Object by simply rolling over it at a break point.
I just thought the local variables should show all the local variables tree.

This fix (and another issue with the new ViewModifiedLines option) is applied to the SVN.

Could your just trace to the Output panel? Is there any reason to have a separate trace panel?

I can't seem to be able to change the DebugFlashPlayerPath

it keeps reverting to whatever was there.
When i click on the browse button ext to the field it says not a valid file name.

so which debbuger is fdb launching then?

I think it uses the default application associated with SWF files.
Clear this setting and run the flash content debugger EXE once and it should get associated with SWF files automatically.

not sure where i can change the default flash player associated with the application, there's just where we point to the SDK, but nowhere i could find where to point to the flash player.

In the fdbPlugin settings, the debugFlashPlayerPath is simply untouchable, can't rename nor delete, keeps reverting to whatever is there.

And while we're at it, how can i specify which version of flash player to launch after compile? does flashdevelop use by default the flashplayer.exe in the sdk folder?

again thanks for your help

found it: Tools->Program Settings->FlashViewer->External Player Path
ah I see now, fdb is pointing to that same one now!

it would be good to point that out somehwere or not even included in the fdb settings since we can change the path from there anyway.

this debugger is like a dream come true!
thanks alot for that

i can't get it work ...

could you release a very simple project example to see which config to do in the project properties ..please

thanks for this plug i'was expecting for a long time

a little bug :

If you open an as2 project, the "start" button is enabled, but clicking it will compile, but not run the as2 file. (this shouldnt work, i know, its an as3.0 debugger)

after this, normal compilation of as2 projects wont work, untill you restart FD.


Maybe you could disable the "start" button if a non-as3 project is enabled?

I'm using flashdevelop now with fdb installed (So I'm using the 'custom' flashdevelop.exe as well)

I haven't touched the debugging at all today, but noticed that flashdevelop.exe sometimes remains in memory even after you quit.
I noticed because it was keeping files in use.

The projects I'm working on are in as2 and as3
