What to do if the Flex Builder 3 debugger can't start

Now I am using Flex Builder 3 and it suddenly refuses to start a debug session. I have reinstalled the Flash Player debugger versions: both 9 and 10. Then I reinstalled Flex Builder, allowing it to install its version of Flash Player. And finally I tried to use both IE and Firefox as host for the player under debug. How on Earth could I diagnose what happened to FB? Thank.

PS I have turned on the firewall.

I had a similar problem and this is how it was solved: http://therush.wordpress.com/2008/03/11/resolved-flex-builder-3-debugger-stopped-working



If that doesn't solve it: Try to see (with netstat -an on wins) if the flash player is listening on debug connections. If not, it is a player issue. If so, try checking the properties of the builder to see if it is trying to connect to the correct port. Try to connect to the specified port to see if the player is responding.

The debug player is using a socket connection to talk to the debugger, perhaps you have installed something that is blocking this connection (probably a software firewall or a virus program)?

You mentioned reinstallation. To be meticulous, did you use the uninstaller tool? http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157 . Removing from UI for Windows Add / Remove does not work as expected.

Once you've fixed it, if you need to test more than one release (9 and 10), you can check out this tool: http://geekglue.blogspot.com/2007/12/iflash-switcher-installing-new-player. html . (It is currently available as a Firefox plugin.)
