While you’re debugging, Firefox is killing you’re flash player session. Here’s the quick fix:

  1. type about:config in the firefox address bar
  2. search for dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs
  3. double click and change the value to -1

This will disable the hang detector that was added. It’s the same reason I don’t do any debugging in Chrome (alongside the lack of HttpFox). Sometimes a break point needs more than 10-15 seconds for me to figure out what’s going on. Check out more details here

When you’re about to create a file you have a plethora of options to choose from. Unfortunately, if you’re like me, you always seem to hit “MXML Module” rather than ‘MXML Component” and have to cancel and re-click. Fortunately, there’s a quick fix. Just right click on the perspective you wish to change (in Flash Builder it’s Flash) and choose “Customize”. You’ll get a nice list of options to show on submenus, including the new menu. Just uncheck everything you don’t want to see and check any additional options you do want to see.

  1. Installed the Eclipse Notepad Plugin so I have a nice scratchpad for copy/paste and whatnot
  2. Since I’m in a dual monitor environment, I pulled a lot of the tabs into their own window.  Now I have 4 windows.  On the main screen is my Editor & Navigator, on the second screen is the Problems, Notepad (see #1), and “Misc” window (everything else is docked in the Misc).  I then saved this as a perspective
  3. Added a “Internal” working set to my Navigator so I didn’t have to deal with the libraries that we import.
  4. Exported my Prefs using File->Export->Preferences so I can import them into other workspaces.
  5. Installed KyrSoft’s Eclipse Status & Memory Monitors so I could watch my memory usage (and trigger Garbage Collection if needbe)

So far, I like what I’ve done, and now I’m using both monitors all the time rather than just when I’m debugging.
