RE: [flexcoders] Please, help: the release player displays a blank page in all browsers.
In FlexBuilder3, you use Export Release Build... You can turn off your debug flags too, but I'd just use the builtin feature that does that for you. The release player doesn't have trace log output so there's no way to leave a trail of what is happening. The debug player has trace output and allocates and garbage collects memory differently since it has defenders on every allocation. The only way to leave a trail in the release player is to use a loading SWF that has some UI that can show that trail.

RE: [flexcoders] Please, help: the release player displays a blank page in all browsers.
Does your app do a data service call on start-up? Perhaps you have a security problem that is causing an error on the non-development system, and the release player is not displaying the error. Try to run the app on a non-dev system, but use the debug player.

RE: [flexcoders] Please, help: the release player displays a blank page in all browsers.
If you deploy a release SWF, it won't ask for the debugger. If you deploy a debug swf and run it on a release player, it should work just fine and not wait to hook to a debugger. So, that shouldn't be the problem. One thing to try would be to write another release SWF that loads your SWF and build some UI in the loading SWF so you can inspect the loaded SWF.
