Debug Flash/Flex & Air with De MonsterDebugger

Posted by Dennis on Feb 5, 2009 in AIR, ActionScript, Flash, Flex • 4 comments

I highly recommend this debugger. It is an AIR application that has many useful features and will make your life much easier. Some of those features are:

  • detailed traces (trace strings and objects, which you can expand)
  • edit properties at runtime
  • method testing
  • a tree structure with which you can walk through the application

On top of that, it is open source and free!

You can download De Monsterdebugger here. I had a problem with the download though. The .zip file is actually a .air file. So you might have to change the extension in order to install it.

    Nice find, I’m definitely installing this on my development machine. Its too bad most of these technologies (e.g. Flash) do not offer the same rich debuggers that something like Visual Studio offers.
