Close Flash Player from FlashDevelop IDE

Question

Whenever I compile my project using FlashDevelop in "Debug", the Flash Player window remains after I clicked the "Stop" button in Flash Develop. Then I have to switch to the flash player, click on any error messages, and then close the player, which ultimately spends a lot of time.

Any way to make Flash Player close when I click Stop in the Flash Develop debugging tools.

EDIT:

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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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

 SuppressDebuggerExceptionDialogs=1 

Flash Player will then be killed when you stop debugging FlashDevelop. By the way, you can still read the errors in the trace.

Answer 3

I asked this question on the Flash Develop forums, and the administrator informed me that this is a feature they are thinking about now, including the fact that FD cannot close Flash Player atm.
