I have a better solution, courtesy of Mark Jonkman, the best Flex programmer I know (I suspect Colin Holgate is right up there with Mark, but I haven't seen him work in Flex). This is for Windows only--there may be a similar process on the Mac, but I don't know it. I've also only done this with FB4, and I don't know if it will work with earlier versions of FB. In the control panel, open Administrative Tools and run Internet Information Services Manager. In rhe panel on the left, drill down to Default Web Site. Right-click and choose Manage Web Site -> Advanced Settings. Dbl-click Physical Path and browse to your Flex project. Click Ok. Still in the Default Web Site window, dbl-click HTTP Response Headers. On the right, click the "Set Common Headers" link and click Expire Web Content immediately. The proces will work without this, but I think it forces the browser to refresh. Now, directly from Flex, select your project and run or debug it. It will run in the browser, as if it were online. If you have break points set, it will drop into the debugger midstream. In case of a crash, you can click on the debug tab and see the call stack, get the current value of variables and expressions, and the like. This might also work in Flash. I'm going to be trying it in a day or two.
