Profiler Causing Debugger Problems in Flex Builder 3

I had to blog this since we encountered this issue twice already. I found the solution from BetaDesigns but we encountered a slightly different case the 2nd time that requires a different approach.

In the first case, you just need to delete a line from the mm.cfg file. If you’re using Windows XP, you’ll find the file in the C:\Documents and Settings\{your user name}\ folder. Find the line that contains the string ProfilerAgent.swf and delete it.

Different Approach

In the second case, you might not find that line from the mm.cfg file. So what we did was delete or rename the ProfilerAgent.swf file from the .metadata\.plugins\com.adobe.flash.profiler folder in your workspace.

Hope this helps.

Unable to Debug in Firefox 3

After installing FF3 a few weeks ago I found myself unable to debug my Flex projects using it. I resorted to using IE as my main debug browser. This worked fine at first but I still really needed to debug in FF3. So today I tried looking for a possible solution and came accross this bug. In a nutshell, the bug is about incompatible add-ons in FF3 that prevents the Flex debugger from running.

For my browser it was Google Toolbar that’s causing the problem, uninstalling it allowed me to debug again. Good thing it wasn’t Charles or TwitterFox.
