Note:
2. Select File > Publish Settings.
3. In the Publish Settings dialog box, click the Flash tab (CS5) or Flash category (CS5.5), and then select Permit Debugging.

File > Export > Export Movie
File > Publish
5. Leave the SWF file on the local machine to perform a remote debug session on the localhost, or upload it to your web server.
The SWF file contains no breakpoint information, so if you upload the file to a remote server you will not be able to step through code. Use
the localhost to perform this task.
6. In Flash, select Debug > Begin Remote Debug Session > ActionScript 3.0.
Flash opens the ActionScript 3.0 Debugger and waits for a debug Flash Player to connect. You have 2 minutes to start the debug Flash
Player. If more than 2 minutes elapse, repeat this step.
7. Open the SWF file in the debug version of the Flash Player plugin, ActiveX control, or stand-alone player. The debug stand-alone player is
located in the Flash install directory/Players/Debug/ directory. Do not connect to a file on another machine, as debugger will not be able to
receive any breakpoint information.
The debug session begins when the debug player connects to the Flash ActionScript 3.0 Debugger panel.
Remote debugging does not function if you select the Default Network Interface for AIR 3.4. Instead, select the options to provide
Network Interface name and IP Address of the system.
Activate the Debugger from a remote location
1. Open the Flash authoring application if it is not already open.
2. Select Debug > Begin Remote Debug Session > ActionScript 3.0.
3. In a browser or in the debugger version of the stand-alone player, open the published SWF file from the remote location.
If the Remote Debug dialog box does not appear, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) in the SWF file to display the context
menu, and select Debugger.
4. In the Remote Debug dialog box, select Localhost and select the file to open.
The display list of the SWF file appears in the Debugger. If the SWF file doesn’t play, the Debugger might be paused, so click Continue to
start it.
