Chapter 17. Debugging

IN THIS CHAPTER

• What Is Debugging?

• Planning Ahead

• Tools of the Trade

Throughout this book, we go through many detailed examples of ActionScript, as well as other languages later on in this book. A great deal of effort was made to test the examples to make sure they will work for you as you go through them. But as you begin to create your own projects, you will begin to notice that not every project will work the way you expect, or it may not work at all. This is where debugging becomes invaluable.

In this chapter, you will learn not only how to debug your projects, but you'll also learn some steps to take that may shorten your debugging time as well as how to debug from a remote location. But before we jump into how to debug, it's important to know what debugging is.
