Firebug-like debug tool for flash applications that run in a browser?

Is there a tool/setting with the help of which I can track or debug flash applications running in a browser? Example apps: A multiple file uploader, or a .flv video player.

Updated: Just found out that flash apps may be using protocols other than http, for eg. rtmp. The feature I require is to keep track of all communication with any remote server. (Remember the net tab of Firebug?)

Any suggestions?

UPDATE: Flash is essentially a different user agent, so firebug and tamperdata both cannot track the http communication.

UPDATE 2: Fiddler looks perfect for Windows. Any *nix alternative? Thanks!

UPDATE 3: Considering debugger version of flash player at http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

Under _http://osflash.org/projects#debugging_tools I've recently found a couple of tools:

  • http://www.swfwire.com/debugger

    The description says "An open source AIR application for INTENSE ActionScript 3 debugging, similar to Firebug."

  • http://www.swfwire.com/inspector

    The description says "Easily view the contents of SWF files with this open source AIR app. You can view images, shapes, and even syntax-highlighted ActionScript 3."

Haven't tested them myself but you could try them for your task.

The solution is Firebug Lite, a JavaScript file you can insert into your pages to simulate some Firebug features in browsers that are not named "Firefox".
