I’ve been meaning to post this for a while — here is the PowerPoint presentation for the debugger talk I gave at 360Flex: Flex Builder Debugger

    Hi Mike, this presentation was exactly what I was looking for but since I was not present during the talk I could not get the entire scope… but what I am really trying to find out is how to use the standalone verson of the debugger with flex builder and still maintain my release version of the player in the browser (mac).

    Reason is I need to do QA work on the release version but have been trying to learn FLex on the side…

    Thanks for the help

    Hi Moca,

    I guess my first suggestion would be to go ahead and use the debugger version of the player for your QA work. But if that is unacceptable for some reason, then probably what I would do is write a script (either a Unix shell script or an AppleScript one, or something else, whatever you’re most familiar with) to switch back and forth between the different Flash players.

    On the Mac, the Flash player is installed into "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin". So, you could do this:

    1. Install release player
    2. Copy the player to $HOME/releaseplayer
    3. Install debugger player
    4. Copy the player to $HOME/debugplayer

    Then write a script that will copy the appropriate player over to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins.
