    I have now purchased and downloaded your profiler.

    Thanks for all the amazing work you’ve put into this project over the years.
    I can only hope that the rest of the Flash community also pays for the Pro-version =)

    I am having problems with getting MonsterDebugger to connect with v1.3 pro though. Changed the configuration to allow MonsterDebugger it but the tooltip still says “Monster Debugger is not connected”.

    And for anyone looking for how to start of TheMiner (SWC version):

    in “MyProjectMainFile.as” (your main MovieClip) type:

    this.addChild(new TheMiner(true))

    Cheers,

    /Jonas

    It still have a bug with MouseListener profiler. It does not draw mouselisteners for children in container, if container.mouseEnabled=false (container.mouseChildren=true, so those objects receive mouse events).

    I was reporting it on flashpreloadprofiler.s googlecode project for
    http://code.google.com/p/flashpreloadprofiler/issues/detail?id=2

    I already opened a ticket for that, but anyway… I tried it in mobile project on Samsung Galaxy S 4G and Miner buttons look very tiny and impossible to tap. Maybe adjust their size based on the stage DPI? And yes, it’s a great tool! Thanks!
