Dan and John,
Thanks for your help. I took a look at the Xray video tutorials. It
seems like a great data inspection / manipulation tool, and I will
definitely use it on future projects. Nice work John.
It doesn't have all of the functionality that I require from an
interactive debugger, though, so I can't really use it as a
substitute for the Flash debugger. There is no way to set a
breakpoint or pause code execution, so there is really no way to use
it, for example, to debug issues during object model initialization;
examine the transaction data of a transient data set returned from a
web service; or trace the flow of control through a series of object
instances. Most of the Flash I work with tends to have these
characteristics.
I have been working on a different set of classes within my same
project today, and was able to successfully use the Flash 8 debugger
without a crash. That indicates to me that there is a specific bug
in the Flash 8 debugger that is triggered by specific code within my
project, because when I'm working in this other area of my code I see
reproducible crashes. Now to figure out precisely what triggers this
bug. I'll report here if I determine the cause.
Thanks again.

when trying xray, be sure to check out the basic videos on how to
use it.
It's very simple, but the videos can really get you going very quickly

if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask ;)

I haven't had the debugger crashing, but it tends to hang on the evil

kind of intensive repetitive tasks (decompiling large amounts of XML
is always a killer).
Probably not that useful, as the exact same thing happened in 2004 as
well. I usually tend to give up on the debugger for large projects
and start using too many traces.
You tried http://osflash.org/xray . Not much experience with it, but
might be a different way of getting in there.
