debug debug player MicroProfiler PreloadSwf profile profiler
The Ultimate Debugging And Profiling
Yesterday I came across interesting articles from jpauclair. The first one is about Almighty PreloadSWF (mm.cfg attribute to define preloader for any as3 .swf file) and the second about his new Flash Visual Profiler. Long story short, you can debug and profile any ActionScript 3 compiled .swf file on the web (or local) you decide to, for example in De MonsterDebugger (open source debugger for Adobe Flash, Flex and AIR).

bug debug player firewall Flex mm.cfg port PreloadSwf profiler web browser
Flex 3 profiling not working (update)
The profiler is a part of the Flex Builder IDE, that listens for messages from the profiler agent. The profiler agent is a swf launched in parallel to your main swf. It is located in your Flex workspace at .metadata/.plugins/com.adobe.flash.profiler/ProfilerAgent.swf. Your IDE gets this agent to start by editing your mm.cfg and adding a “PreloadSwf” line. The agent uses the flash.sampler.* API to gather data on your main swf, and sends it to the IDE using TCP on a preconvened port. This port is 9999 by default, you can change it in Preferences/Flex/Profiler/Connections.
If you can not get your profiler working, there are few methods you should try:
close all other tabs
install debug player
change browser
change port
disable firewall / antivirus
define PreloadSwf path
localhost / 127.0.0.1
allocate console
ultimate methods (what worked for me)
