NetConnection Debugger

The NetConnection Debugger panel is a Flash movie itself. It is implemented as a Flash panel extension to Flash MX and is installed when you install the Flash Remoting components. The NetConnection debugger reports all connections, input, and output from the Flash movie to the server. Any arguments sent to the movie are exposed in the panel, and any response from the server is shown as well. This includes all error messages from the server.

The NetConnection debugger is available only during authoring time. Errors that occur in the application after the movie has been compiled and deployed will not be reported. It is up to you as the author of the Flash application to address the errors during authoring time so that the end user experience is without error.

The NetConnection Debugger panel must be opened from the Window menu in Flash before testing the movie for it to become active. To invoke it, open the NetConnection Debugger panel and choose Control → Test Movie. The Control → Debug Movie option invokes the Flash interactive debugger, not the NetConnection debugger, although the latter will also be active if it was previously open. Be sure to include the line #include "NetDebug.as" in your code if you’ve previously omitted it.
