Command-line debugger limitations
The command-line debugger supports debugging only at the ActionScript level and does not support the Flash
timeline concept. The debugger also does not support adding breakpoints inside script snippets in MXML tags.
You can set breakpoints on event handlers defined for MXML tags.
Flash Player may interact with a server. The debugger does not assist in debugging the server-side portion of the
application, nor does it offer support for inspecting any of the IP transactions that take place from Flash Player to
the server, and vice versa.
Command-line debugger shortcuts
You can open commands within the fdb debugger by using the fewest number of nonambiguous keystrokes. For
example, to use the
print command, you can type p, because no other command begins with that letter.
Using the default browser
When you debug an application in a web browser, fdb opens the player in the default browser. The default browser
is the browser that opens when you open a web-specific file without specifying an application. You must also have
the debugger version of Flash Player installed with this browser. If you do not have the debugger version of Flash
Player, Flash displays an error indicating that your Flash Player does not support all fdb commands.
Your default browser might not be the first browser that you installed on your computer. For example, if you
installed another web browser after installing Microsoft Internet Explorer, Internet Explorer might not be your
default browser.
Determine your default browser
1 From the Windows toolbar, select Start.
2 Select Run and enter a URL in the Run dialog box. For example:
http://www.adobe.com
3 Click OK.
Windows opens the default browser or displays an error message indicating that there is no application
configured to handle your request.
Set Internet Explorer 6.x as your default browser
1 Open the Internet Explorer application.
