How to connect debugger by context menu in swf?

I tried "request": "attach", but no luck.

To use "request": "attach", you need to do the following:

1. Compile a debuggable SWF
2. Open the SWF in the Flash Player content debugger
3. Start your "request": "attach" debug configuration in Visual Studio Code

When attaching instead of launching, it's important that you open the SWF in Flash Player before debugging in VSCode.

I am not familiar with any context menu related to debugging.

My SWF run on another machine.

When I use Flash Builder before, run remote debug first, then open SWF on another machine,
select Debugger item in context menu, select Other Machine and my develop machine's IP then SWF will connect to my develop machine.

Fascinating! I didn't know that you could debug a SWF running on a different machine.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to make that work. If I find some time, I'll try to look into it, but I cannot promise anything.

SWF will connect to develop machine 7935 port.
