FlashBug

I’ve been using SOSMax for a long time.  It is simple, easy to use, and does what I need it to do.  But I ran across a blog on about FlashBug and I was immediately interested when he mentions that he lurvs SOSMax.  So after checking out FlashBug, I think I am going to start using it for debugging.  It has some neat features.  I like that you can pretty print xml and html.  The error and warning icons are nice too.  You can check out loaded shared objects and their properties.  Also there is a Policy Log tab which lets you check out what cross domain policy files are loaded.  That is very nice since (as far as I know) there is not any way to tell if your cross domain xml loads successfully or not.

I use FDT for ActionScript editing so I’ve created a few simple templates for the specific trace filters you can use for FlashBug.
