Cant get debugging in vs code to work

[Dan Vu]

Hello there i really like this engine, but when following this guide :

http://haxeflixel.com/documentation/visual-studio-code/

my launch.json file:

{
	"version": "0.2.0",
	"configurations": [
		{
			"name": "flash build + launch",
			"type": "fdb",
			"request": "launch",
			"program": "${workspaceRoot}/export/flash/bin/game.swf",
			"preLaunchTask": "flash debug (build only)"
		},
		{
			"name": "flash launch",
			"type": "fdb",
			"request": "launch",
			"program": "${workspaceRoot}/export/flash/bin/game.swf"
		}
	]
}

the debugging doesn't seems to work what do i need to do?

What does "not working" look like exactly? Are there any errors?

Are you using the tasks.json from flixel-templates well? It's important that the debugged .swf is built with -Dfdb.

Is .swf associated with a Debug Flash Player?

Okay the problem was i was using a wrong flash player

I downloaded:

Flash Player projector content debugger
from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/debug_downloads.html#fp15
I wish the documentation would mention that.
Thx.

I wish the documentation would mention that.

That's a good point. The content debugger is now mentioned in vshaxe-debugadapter's readme / usage guide, and we link to it on the Flixel side.
