I have just had the most frustrating afternoon I can remember in a long time. I’ve been using Flex 3 and have recently upgraded to the Flash Player 10 debug version. Since then, every time I try to run an application in debug mode I get the message “Waiting for Flash Player to connect to debugger” which never actually completes.
I’ve spent several hours trying out the various solutions suggested for this and was just about to resort to uninstalling version 10 and replacing it with version 9 when I came across “nPawn’s” post on this very subject and the answer is very simple:
- Run your application in debug mode
- Right click over the Flash movie
- Change the option from Localhost to “Other Machine”
- Type the IP address 127.0.0.1
- Click Connect
Problem solved. Go figure why you have to change from Localhost to Other Machine. Absolutely no documentation on this whatsoever from Adobe. Really, really, rubbish.

I am also very curious why it was going wrong, it worked well before. This problem occured after I re-installed my windows vista recently.
Fortunately, I find your solution.
Many Thanks.
Same thing, and solution worked for me.
Sure upset me, since I’m just learning the application and the books didn’t mention any problems.
Thanks!
Dooh, nice, thanks! I was prepared to search the net for hours for the solution.
Thanks man, after updating flash player this really helped.
merci !
