Flex 3 profiling not working (update)
The profiler is a part of the Flex Builder IDE, that listens for messages from the profiler agent. The profiler agent is a swf launched in parallel to your main swf. It is located in your Flex workspace at .metadata/.plugins/com.adobe.flash.profiler/ProfilerAgent.swf. Your IDE gets this agent to start by editing your mm.cfg and adding a “PreloadSwf” line. The agent uses the flash.sampler.* API to gather data on your main swf, and sends it to the IDE using TCP on a preconvened port. This port is 9999 by default, you can change it in Preferences/Flex/Profiler/Connections.
If you can not get your profiler working, there are few methods you should try:
- close all other tabs
- install debug player
- change browser
- change port
- disable firewall / antivirus
- define PreloadSwf path
- localhost / 127.0.0.1
- allocate console
- ultimate methods (what worked for me)
