There are many handy bits of software and plugins around. Here is a list of things that I use to maximise efficiency and help debug. What are some of your favourite?
Firefox
- Firebug (used for debugging DOM and javascript)
- Greasemonkey (can alter how javascript acts)
- IMacros (if you're using a web frontend you can make macros to enter vast sets of creative for you from a csv file!!!)
- HTTP watch (http headers)
- JSView (quick view of javascript files)
- Web Developer (handy toolbar)
- firecookie (manage cookies)
IE
- IE7Pro (allow you to mod it's behaviour)
- script debugger (check out javascript files and what they call)
- Fiddler (HTTP headers)
- multiple IE (run ie6 alongside ie7 - doesn't work so well for rich media)
- IE Developer toolbar (DOM inspector)
- Bookmarklets ( https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/webdevel.html - generated source especially)
Flash
- Action Script Viewer (for clicktag check)
- URL Action Editor (for small fixes)
- Sothink SWF Decompiler (get to the nuts and bolts)
Wireshark (network analyser)
Chrome (browser)
Safari (browser)
Opera (browser)
Textpad (regex and replace all is your friend)
Excel (spreadsheet - VLookup is your friend)
GIMP (image manipulation)
LogMeIn (log in to your computer remotely)

Hi,
Thanks a lot for the information. I would require some suggestions from you.
We run an ad operation for online advertisement. It would be very helpful if you could suggest us any tools that check a .swf or a .fla and throws a report with the details like (Flash Player, ClickTag, File size, Dimension).
Thanks for your help in advance
Cheers

Action Script Viewer (for clicktag check)
Late reply but you could check http://www.advalidation.com out. It checks Flash Version, File Size, Dimension, ClickTag, External Connections and CPU usage during run time.
