error does not happen when you debug a project, not a stand alone .as file. this works for both fdbplugin0.4.6.1 and 4.5.0

fdbPlugin0.4.6.1 is not working with FlashDevelop 3.0.0 RC2. When I use “Start” from the “Debug” menu:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

While trying with FD 3.0 RC2, I can set the DebugFlashPlayerPath but after restarting I can’t see the new debugger icons and moreover, I get this error:

Type ‘FdbPlugin.PluginMain’ in Assembly ‘FdbPlugin, Version=0.4.6.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null’ is not marked as serializable.

Pity, cause debugging is certainly very, very usefull.

The error is probably related to the Fdbplugin.

It seems like the author of the Fdbplugin creates builds that only work with a specific version of flash develop. (Using it on an older or newer version than the one intended wont work).
