flashbug flashtrace

If you do any sort of flash dev, I highly suggest you get your hands on one (or both) of these tools:

• FlashBug [ get it ]
• FlashTrace [ this too ]
• (eitherway you will need the flash debugger [ need it ]) Make sure you read which version you are downloading. You DO NOT want the current version of flash player, you DO want the current version of Flash Player Debugger.

If you are doing Flash Dev on a PC and not a Mac, you should be crying now because your mom hates you for being so stupid, because these tools ARE that awesome.

FlashBug displays flash information in the FireFox Plugin FireBug. Making it 30% more awesome.

FlashTrace displays flash data in your mac terminal, and is also awesome.
