Got it.
However, to display a variable I would have expected the debugger to just
read the memory.

Absolutely right. It's like the difference between GET and POST.
You should never change anything on a server with a GET call, only with
POST.

Consider a Point variable pt:Point(100,200). This generates calls to x() and

are getters and setters called uneccessar

well, I have yet to see any properties show up in the debugger (well, I did
see it once, but haven't since then). I'm not an authority on the flash
debugger by any means. In fact, I wrote Xray without even touching the IDE
debugger. Only later did I go back to see what it was capable of when

john,
just curious, in this case are you using as3 in cs3?
i ask because the flash cs3 promo material touts a new "advanced debugger"
"consistent with the flex builder 2 debugger".
personally, i never found any use for the debugger in flash 8 or earlier. i
do find useful th
Heh. Nothing to do now but get old school and trace out the values you
want to see. I personally never use the Flash Debugger for reasons like
the one you're talking about. I find it a lot faster to just spit out
the variables I want to see and debug that way.
Xray is the bomb dot com. _gl
I am getting increasingly frustrated trying to debug in the Flash IDE.
I see some, but not all of the variables I expect to see as I step through
code. Also, when I step to the next line I step to some unexpected line.
A google search throws up: trace(), step over/into/outof and our wonderful Xr
