Hi, Im having an issue with Flex debugging.

Im using IDEA 9.0.1 (9394) on Windows 7

I have a Flex only project with a numbr of librariy modules (swc) and one main module (swf).Everything compiles fine. The output from the swf module is dropped into an exploded WAR directory in a JBOSS deployemtn directory. I can fire up a browser and hit the application ok, referencing either SWF or wrapper HTML. I can also setup a run configuration and run the application as either SWF through FlashPLayer or URL through a browser. BUT. If I try to debug the same run configuration, the Debug tab opens and then .... nothing.

I have specified IExplorer as the default browser in the IDEA settings so I dont think its the Firefox 3 fdb problem.

The URL specified in the run configuration includes  ?debug=true on the end of the URL.

Ive updated idea.properties and added the line 'idea.is.internal=true'. Im tailing the logfile and it doesnt show any errors.

Any pointers? It was all going so well until this point

Does the problem reproduces if you launch fdb (from Flex SDK) manually?

Hi

Check the setting of launch option in Flex run configuration it should

not be "Debug already running player"

Hi, so, this next bit is a little strange.

I followed your instructions, exactly, and nothing more. When I ran the debug session in Intellij it appeared to start working, albeit not completely (no browser or flashplayer opens).

The console now display this.....

..And I was able to connect by opening a browser manually, hitting the correct URL, right click, select debugger, then connect.

So, Ive no idea what started it working. The only thing I can think is that I had not set any breakpoints on all the ocassions I had attempted to debug previously. Although, once I removed the breakpoint I had added on your instructions it still appeared to work. Maybe something was caching ??

In summary, Its still not opening a browser and connecting automatically but I can manually attach the debugger which allows me to continue working. Ive attached the trace output below anyway just in case this might shed some light but it doesnt appear to show any errors.
