How To Debug Flash Apps on Packaged Browser

Hi,

I am trying to connect fdb to a client's packaged browser. I tried simply calling run and launching the browser but no success. Any ideas?

Thanks
Yishay

Forgot about that. I’ll check if it was built that way.

Harman support should be able to provide a debug player for their packaged browser, I’ll make sure that’s working as well.

Good to know there are ways around not having a debugger player. This specific app does use ExternalInterface though.

Thanks!

IIRC, the SWF needs to have been built for debugging.  The browser may also need to have a debugger version of FlashPlayer installed.

If the SWF does not use ExternalInterface, you can sometimes connect FDB without a debugger player by having FDB launch the SWF w/o its HTML wrapper.  That changes the security model though, so doesn't always work.
