[]Installing a debugger
[LIST]
[
]Original post on FD forums.
[]Download the latest version here (currently fdbPlugin0.4.5.0.zip, this version is only compatible with [URL=“http://www.flashdevelop.org/community/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3589”]FlashDevelop 3.0.0 Beta9)
[
]Unzip it to a temp folder but don’t follow the instructions in the readme.txt
[]Locate your FD plugins directory in your user files:
[
]From FD main menu: Tools > Application Files… (it will open up a new explorer dialog)
[]Copy all the files Aga.Controls.dll and fdbPlugin.dll (its in the bin directory of the zipfile) to the plugin directory
(Example: C:\Documents and Settings\Falcon4ever\Local Settings\Application Data\FlashDevelop\Plugins).
[
]Do not use FlashDevelop.exe from the zipfile (for some odd reason the exe seems to be corrupted here).
[]Start FD.
[
]Click Tools -> Program settings (F10)
[]Click FdbPlugin
[
]Set the DebugFlashPlayerPath to C:_libraries\flex_sdk_3.1.0.2710\flashplayer_10_sa_debug.exe

[]Using the debugger
[LIST]
[
]Start FD.
[]It should show 2 new dialogs, which you can drag into the main GUI.
[
]To set breakpoints do a shift-click on the left.
[]To start a debug session press the new play button (if you check the gui, you will see a few new icons, play, pause, stop, fastforward etc)
[
]When the program hits a breakpoint you can hoover on the variable to view its contents/value. (Just like in visual studio)
