Flex Builder often fails to connect to the app that it's supposed to debug. After a minute or so it times-out and says that it couldn't connect. The only way I can get it to stop doing this is by restarting Eclipse.
Very annoying. Anyone know why this is?
I'm using FB 3.1 and Firefox on Win XP.
Many thanks!
I think it may be because it's full of bugs. I haven't worked with it on windows but on os x it reeks. You have to restart the whole os to get it back to normal sometimes.
I don't have an answer (or the same problem, it works really well for me) but I know where I would go for an answer and that's flexcoders? Have you asked over there? You might get a more direct answer from an Adobe wonk
This became an issue with Firefox 3, and the general workaround is to start disabling Firefox extensions until it works. I've found that the AdBlock and IETab extensions interfered with Flex debugging; once those were disabled in Firefox's Add-On Manager, things got better.
See this bug report on Adobe's website for much more information.
