Or  "Show redraw regions" don't appear although tou have the Flash Player Debugger installed  

Environment:  Flex or Flash and Google Chrome


When running a Flash Builder project in debug mode  and your default browser is Google Chrome you might get the following failure message:
Failed to connect; session timed out.
Ensure that:
1. You compiled your Flash application with debugging on.
2. You are running the debugger version of Flash Player



Solution: Disable manually the Google Chrome integrated Flash Player plug-in.
  1. Open your Google Chrome Browser
  2. Type in the URL  "about:plugins" + enter
  3. Find the Flash plugin and expand the section by clicking the "+Details"
  4. In the expanded flash section find and disable the Flash Player that use the "gcswf32.dll"
  5. That's it, the Google Chrome should use now the Flash Player Plugin content debugger.
