The debugger does not automatically connect to the player.

I did everything according to the instructions and now, when I start debugging, my swf file is executed, but the debugger continues to wait until I click the "Debugger" option in the player context menu. Win 10 VS Code 1.33.1 Haxe 4.0.0-rc.2 vshaxe 2.9.2 flash-debugger 1.2.2

I had same issue trying to debug my old openfl game. Despite <haxeflag name="-D" value="fdb"/> in project.xml had no effect, the -debug flag changes the thing. In my case auto connect to debugger works with following launch.json

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Flash",
            "type": "fdb",
            "request": "launch",
                        "preLaunchTask": "lime: build flash -debug",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/export/flash/bin/my.swf"
        }
    ]
}```
