Run Flash CS6 Touch Simulator Panel from Flash Builder
<!--
Run Flash CS6 Touch Simulator Panel from Flash Builder (on anywhere else you
like) to test your AIR applications.
Instructions:
Just drop the file in your project folder, change the APP_NAME property
appropriately and maybe fix the tools' paths so they will work on your system.
Gotchas:
- windows only, for now
- the -profile argument must be extendedMobileDevice or mobileDevice even if the
project itself targets the desktop. Not sure if this will cause any problems.
- the -nodebug argument will prevent to connect to the fdb tool (if you ever
tought of debugging your app from a console) but it's needed for the trace
outputs to be shown in the console.
