Is it any way to run two instances of debuggers?

Question

I'm working in a project that is a multiplayer game, and it runs on Cirrus.

It would be nice to debug both instances of the running games, not only one, but Flash Builder stops one debug instance as soon as I send a new debug call.

Do you have any ideas if there is a way to have 2 debug instances running at the same time?, maybe oppening 2 Flash Builders.. but it says something about the workspace..

Dont know if what Im asking is possible.

Thanks!

Whoops, sorry, immediately after I said this, I found that

The debugger is an agent that communicates with the application that is running in Flash Player. It connects to your application with a local socket connection. As a result, you might have to disable anti-virus software to use it if your anti-virus software prevents socket communication. The debugger uses this connection to transfer information from the SWF file to the command line so that you can add breakpoints, inspect variables, and do other common debugging tasks. The port through which the debugger connects to your application is 7935. You cannot change this port.

But I'll look into the sources, it shouldn't be that difficult to build fdb with a different port set up.

EDIT:

OK, it looks like what you have to do is simply run fdb like this:

$ ./fdb -p=9090

9090 - is just a randomly selected port number, you would need then to right-click your SWF you are debugging and configure it to connect to localhost:9090.

EDIT2:

If it doesn't work, then change line 51 in ${SDK}/modules/debugger/src/java/flash/tools/debugger/concrete/DProtocol.java to a different port, and then rebuild the SDK (probably you can build only the debugger project, but just "to make sure"), you'd have yet another version of debugger that will connect on a different port.
