Debugging your applications

Debugging is similar to running your applications, except that when debugging you can control the execution of the application to stop at specific points in the code, to monitor important variables, and to test fixes to your code. Both running and debugging use a configuration to control how applications are launched. When debugging, you run the debug version of the application file.

For an overview of the debugging tools available in the Flex Debugging perspective, see The Flex Debugging perspective.
