I like using the profiler but i didnt know you could do that! So away I went and opend up one of my apps and clicked Profile.... O no whats going on? No Profiler prompt just straight into the application

Socket closed.
Socket closed.
Socket closed.
Flex Profiler No activity 60 seconds after connection.

and then quiet

I was at a loss why had my Profiler failed me? Could I find a solution on the internet by no means so i decided to carry on with some work and tackle this at a later date but then...

My apps start to take a rather long time to startup and even worse NO BREAKPOINTS !! O my god im gonna have a heart attack!

I noticed in the console that Flex is tracing out

Users/Anthony/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/com.adobe.flash.profiler/ProfilerAgent.swf

before trying to run my apps I do a search and found this bug in the bugbase

http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-12869

it mentions a file called mm.cfg that points to this ProfilerAgent.swf

you can find this file in the following locations

Operating system mm.cfg file in this directory
Macintosh OS X MacHD:Library:Application Support:macromedia:
Microsoft Windows Vista C:\Users\user_name\
Microsoft Windows 2000/XP C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\
Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME %HOMEDRIVE%\%HOMEPATH%\
Linux /home/user_name

inside this file there is a line of code that reads

PreloadSwf=/Users/[username]/Documents/workspace/
.metadata/.plugins/com.adobe.flash.profiler/
ProfilerAgent.swf?host=localhost&port=9999

delete this and the debugger starts to work again however my Profiler still doesnt...

I had the opportunity to meet Rob on Tuesday at the PokerCoder event held by Adobe. As some of you may or may not know I have previously worked on projects using Papervision3D in the past, However I haven't really had the chance to pick it up in the last couple of months since starting at LBi so I was looking forward to getting back into it. The most interesting part for me was the introduction of Away3D I hadn't heard of this engine before and I was very impressed with it. In addition Rob did a great job with explaining the way in which 3D environments work in ActionScript. In addition this was all backed up by 36 example applications!
