Mannually connecting Flash Player (debug) to Flex/Flash Builder

Question

Is it at all possible to connect the Flash Player debug version to the debugger in Flex Builder using source code? I'm running an app which has no right click menu, and I therefore can't right click and select connect to debugger.

Answer 1

I don't know if you can connect it from code, by this maybe helps you:

If you want to run the Flex Builder with the Flash Player Debug you have first to get the Flash Player Debug then copy the Flash Player Debug into [Flex Install Directory]\Player\win, paste the Flash Player executable file and rename it to Flash Player.exe. Restart your Builder and run your application (from the Builder) in Debug Mode.

Answer 3

I've managed to connect fdb.exe from the command line to my app! Works like a charm. A bit more work though, since there's no UI.
