Setting a breakpoint via code in Actionscript 3

Is there any statement in Actionscript 3 which acts as a breakpoint when executed? That is, something like JavaScript's "debugger" statement.

I need it when developing AS3 applications without an IDE. Setting the breakpoint manually in fdb is rather tedious.

Solution

  • Use enterDebugger function.

    import flash.debugger.enterDebugger;

// code ...
enterDebugger()
// code ...
