How to use ActionScript to determine if my app is debugging via VSCode + AS3MXML extension?

Hi!

I'm building a lib that need to know whether my app is debugging via VSCode and trace commands are output to the VSCode's Debug Console? I can't find a perfect way to detect this. Any ideas?

Thank you!

This should tell you if you're running in the AIR Debug Launcher (ADL):

if (Capabilities.playerType == "Desktop" && Capabilities.isDebugger)
{
    // running in ADL
}

However, I don't think that there's a way to detect whether an IDE's debugger is actively connected to ADL or not.
