Close Flash Player from FlashDevelop IDE

Question

Whenever I compile my project using FlashDevelop in 'Debug' the Flash Player window remains after I have clicked the 'Stop' button in Flash Develop. I have to then switch over to the flash player, click through any error messages and then close the player, which wastes a lot of time in the long run.

Any way to make it so Flash Player closes when I click 'Stop' in the Flash Develop debug tools?

EDIT:

My setup is a fresh install of Windows 7, a new copy of Flash Develop 4 and Flash Player 10.

Answer 1

You may disable the error popup in your Flash Player by editing your mm.cfg file (which is in your Windows' user folder). Just add the following:

SuppressDebuggerExceptionDialogs=1

Then the Flash Player will nicely be killed when you stop FlashDevelop debugging. BTW, you will still be able to read the errors in the trace.

Answer 2

In FlashDevelop/Settings/ToolBar.xml just put this line

<button label="Kill FlashPlayer" click="RunProcess" tag="taskkill;/f /t /im FlashPlayerDebugger.exe" image="197" />

and restart FD.
