I was having a lot of issues trying to debug an ActionScript project in Flex 3.0.2.  The Flash 10 standalone debugger was simply not connecting.  This means I was unable to debug my application! so trace statements and such didn’t show up in the Flex console.

After searching the Net and trying all the fixes that others have posted, none of them worked.

I then noticed that I currently have, Flash CS3, Flash CS4, and Flex 3.0.2 installed. They each have a Flash Player folder which contains debug and release versions as well as backups for Flash Player. There is no way to tell which player Flex is using, except there is!

1. I am on a Mac so, open your Activity Monitor and double click Flash Player instance in the list.
2. Go to “Open Files and Ports”.
3. The second line there is where the Flash Player is being called from.
4. Backup and delete that directory.
5. Try to debug in Flex again.
6. repeat process 1-5, until it either no longer can find a valid Flash Player, or starts to play a .app Projector File.  You have now removed all references to the Standalone Flash Player.
7. Download the current standalone debugger from Adobe.com
8. Place it in either the “/Applications/Adobe Flash CS4/Players” directory or whatever version you have.
9. relaunch Flex, debug your application with Trace statements and breakpoints!

A piece I created using wordle.net

I exported out all of my bookmarks from Firefox into an html file, then stripped out all the html entities and tags then pasted it into wordle.net’s cool Java Tool.  From their a little photoshop grunge and there it is!

Description:
Art Healing is derived from creativity in one’s soul. Childhood may in fact be the most creative and imaginative ages of a person’s life, and art healing encourages that personal growth.

Art Therapy is a form of Art Healing, an alternative form of therapy that aids in benefiting the mental health and well being of an individual. Children are like sponges, they absorb so much information yet they tend to resist when speaking about their emotions. Studies have shown that physical drawings done by a child articulate his or her emotions more vividly then any words they could have pieced together.

The free flowing expression derived from creating art opens the mind of youngsters and truly aids them in discovery and self awareness. Art expression is portrayed as its own language, speaking for itself when viewed bringing visual insight to behaviors and emotions. Children benefit greatly if they are experiencing developmental or communicational disorders such as autism, as well as grief, parental issues, anxiety, and even abuse.
