Possible to step through/breakpoints as3 in flash buider when compiling with flash pro?

Question

As it says in the title, I have a project that is based in a Flash Professional .Fla However, I am doing all of the code writing and editing in Flash Builder. They are both set to have the same source path.

Although Flash Pro has the step through/ breakpoints functionality, it is not aware of breakpoints I add in from Flash Builder.

Since the project is meant to be compiled through the .fla I also can't simply compile with Flash Builder.

Does anyone have this workflow setup, and have you managed to put breakpoints in your code?

Answer 1

This should work. I use the same setup almost all the time. How did you create your project? I usually create the fla, then in FB I select new->flash pro project and point it to the fla file.

Now if I add a breakpoint in FB and I test the movie with ctrl(cmd)+shift+enter, the movie is published in Flash and is stopped at the first breakpoint.
