About Flash Debugger

Flash Debugger

This is an extension for debugging Haxe applications on the Flash target via [FDB][1]. It is best used with the [vshaxe][2] extension.

Usage

There's three prerequisites:

1. Download the "Flash Player projector content debugger" from [here][6] and associate it with .swf files. On Linux, make sure the player's executable is accessible globally (for example, in the /usr/bin/ directory or in the PATH) and its name is no other than flashplayer (you could rename the original file or [make a symlink][7] to it). 2. Make sure JAVA_HOME is defined or you have java in your PATH (to run fdb.jar). Please refer to these links for instructions:

• [Setting JAVA_HOME on Windows][4] • [Setting JAVA_HOME on Linux][5]

3. Compile the .swf file you want to debug with the -D fdb define.

After this, you need a launch configuration. The launch.json should look something like this:

Replace /bin/application.swf with the path to your swf file.

You can also generate a config via Add Configuration... -> Haxe (Flash):

Installing from source
