well, while it can't pause the player for breakpoints, it CAN

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.
