I have a SWF that I wish to debug on with the flash debugger. I have the debug flash player and the 'Debugger' context menu option is greyed out. If I check the 'Permit debugging' option in the SWF publish settings, this does not become enabled. My hunch is that this is down to the fact that my SWF is being loaded by another parent SWF....

When a user inserts a score for the first time a unique ID is sent out of the database to the swf and saved as part of the sharedObject data. Absolutely everything works and the ...
