following software components:
•
Flash Player
•
Flash Remoting
•
Flash Communication Server
•
Application server

Enabling debugging
Flash Remoting for Flash MX 2004 ActionScript 2.0 separates the debugging library from the
RemotingClasses library so that you can add debugging capabilities to your application when you
need them and remove them to reduce the size of your application when you publish it.
The debugging library is the RemotingDebugClasses library. The following sections tell you how
to add it to and remove it from your application.
