variables A and B. How is the debugger going to populate a tree view of the parent object if it does NOT call that getter? Got it. However, to display a variable I would have expected the debugger to just read the memory. In my view, it's a self-evidently poor programming practice to write a

In my view, it's a self-evidently poor programming practice to write a property getter which makes changes to the property. 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.

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.
