Re: [Flashcoders] Question on old AS1 code
The extension "Firebug" for Firefox also lets you see in better detail what's sent/retrived between you and the server. It's incredibly useful for all forms of debugging. I can't understand how i managed without it. Vaughn, David (Contractor) (J6B) skrev: Thanks for the response Andy. Fiddler sounds very interesting. Unfortunately, due to very tight security rules, we are not permitted to download any software (30-day trial software, shareware, freeware, etc.) so I'm not sure I can use that tool at work. I will check it out for home use however. Thanks for the suggestion!

I do not have direct access to the servers so I cannot give specifics about how the servers are configured, but I can forward questions to the web team.
