    There is a new option in MX for "breakpoints" to debug actionscript. Has anyone used this yet? What exactly is it for? Hows it used?
    I have some ideas but I'm curious if anyone knows for sure.
    Thanks

    Breakpoints pause actionscript execution in debug mode (Ctrl+Shift+Enter) so that you can examine variables at any point, without the need for trace commands or the like. They make complex scripting easier because you can step over them, not executing the expression where you put the breakpoint, so that you can test what happens if you omit certain expressions from your script. Also, you can examine all variables in your script, rather than writing a trace command for each one!
