Hi,
My Flex app uses web services that require authentication prior to the swf
load. (Don't ask why - that's not the problem).
So I, first, must authenticate in a new browsing window - and then open the
swf application using the same browser sessionid.
In debug mode, I costumed my Firefox to always open new tabs when called.
Now I must debug using Internet Explorer - and I checked the "reuse windows
for launching shortcuts" and enabled the tabbing....

Nothing works - whenever I run the flex debugger using IE - it will always
open a NEW INSTANCE of IE.

So to my question ? how can I make the flex builder launch debugging on an
already existing Internet Explorer instance?

Thanks,
Gilad

Pleeeeeease Guys.... If anyone has any idea - i'd appreciate sharing it.

Well I haven't tested something like that but it should work you only have to modify the html wrapper to add the authenticate login logic and you're done.

Never seen this before, but doesn't mean it's impossible.
I'm still trying to understand what's happening, though. Seems like you are
launching a Flex app in debug mode, then from that Flex app you are launching a
second app, is this correct?

Not entirely.

I first open an IE instance to authenticate in a certain way (which I'm forced
to) to the server side. This is not Flex at all. It's just for secured
authentication.
Without this, my Flex app will not be able to retrieve any xml's from the
server.
So after I authenticate, I don't need the authentication site ? only the
browser's sessionId of the particular IE instance. Therefore ? I must launch my
Flex app in that specific IE instance ? or else it just won't work.

So for my question ?
How can I make Flex Builder launch an application to an already existing IE
instance?
? If someone has an answer to this ? the rest is easy pizzy.


Thanks guys.
Gilad
