I'm currently working on a large AS3 system consisting of a core project and several modules which are dynamically loaded by the core project at run time. Often when I'm working on one of these modules, I'll reflexively hit F11 to go into debug mode, but as these projects won't run as a standalone application, they'll open an empty Flash player or browser window, and I have to switch to the progress tab, cancel the launch, open a file from the core project and relaunch.
This is a fairly minor issue that I could get around by remembering to manually click the debug button rather than pressing F11, but no matter how often it happens, I keep forgetting to do so. It only wastes a few seconds each time, but it's something I do tens, if not hundreds of times a day, and it adds up.
Is there a way I can bind the F11 to the debug configuration for the core project only? If not, is there some way I can configure the modules to delegate launching to the core project?
I resolved the underlying problem of accidentally launching un-runnable projects by changing the run configuration of these to instead launch the main project.
