With AS2, setting up a NetConnection between a Flash Player and a server running Flash Remoting could be streamlined using the Flex NetConnection Debugger. It was included with Flex 1.0 ca. 2005 and only required
two short steps to enable.
Many developers included it in their remoting utilities shortlist.
Now that we're living in a CS4 age, the playing field has changed. All the functionality of the NetConnection Debugger has been integrated into the Flash library. This means that instead of launching separate apps for debugging, you can simply mock up a routine using calls to available library components.
Good enough, but if you prefer a dedicated debugging app, NetConnection Debugger is out, and some other options are in its place.
Midnight Coders App Puncher
Much has been said about Midnight Coders' contributions to RIA development. Their middleware tier is arguably the best muscle around and can be a real time-saver. I'm speaking of WebORB, but particular to debugging, have a look at another of their products, the
RIA App Puncher.
