Waiting for Flash Player to connect to debugger …

I’ve just had a fun hour with the curse of the ‘Waiting for Flash Player to connect to debugger’.

I’m on OS X on my brand-spanking-new Macbook Pro, and Flash Builder suddenly stopping launching my app – in debug or plain launch – which was starting to take the shine off of what should have been a happy day.

There’s lots on this problem about the place – with quite a few different causes. In the end I solved my particular issue with something not mentioned in any of the posts I came across – my html-template folder needed to have the flex framework swf (framework_3.3.0.4852.swf – which was copied from frameworks/rsls under the SDK) in place.

Hope this helps someone else, kdw.
