Tips on the FlexBuilder debugger:
FB does not always/often recognize breakpoints set in sub-component files
opened in the editor. To set breakpoints in sub-components reliably, start the
debugger, then open the files list it is on the debug toolbar an the menu.
Select the files you want to debug there, they will open in the
debugger/editor, and you can set breakpoints there. You can do this ANY time
during a debugging session.
If you want to see the change of values of properties of objects, don't use the
Variables screen; it does not always update. Instead, navigate to the object
or property you want to watch, right-click it and choose Add to Watch Window.
The watch values are reliable (as long as they are in scope!)
I have never had FB damage one of my files, but back up you work or use a
source control system anyway, on principle.

Hi there,
first of all welcome to the flex world.
Debugger allows you to debug your application. You can set
breakpoints to check some values (locals or application wide), you can
also watch some values.
You can have an overview here
:http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flex/articles/flexbuilder_debugger.html
In your result panel you can also monitor network information
(webservices, http requests,RO) and know exactly what has been called,
what params are sended, what is the result and his format.
