No, you can't use the debugger statement in ActionScript. I as documented, you can use a custom HTML template with your Royale app and add it in a <script> element before the Royale code starts up.
It's worth mentioning that I created a branch to add support for the debugger statement in ActionScript: https://github.com/apache/royale-compiler/commits/feature/debugger-statement However, there was opposition to merging it in because the SWF implementation would require calling an undocumented API to get Flash Player or AIR to pause in the debugger. - Josh On 2018/06/06 17:32:52, OmPrakash Muppirala <bigosma...@gmail.com> wrote: > Curious if simply calling debugger; will help here? > > Will that statement crosscompile in Royale? > > Thanks, > Om > > > On Wed, Jun 6, 2018, 10:18 AM Josh Tynjala <joshtynj...@apache.org> wrote: > > > You might be running into this issue (Debugger will not stop at > > breakpoints on startup with Apache Royale): > > > > > > https://github.com/BowlerHatLLC/vscode-nextgenas/wiki/Common-issues#debugger-will-not-stop-at-breakpoints-on-startup-with-apache-royale > > > > It seems like VSCode can't connect with the browser's debugger protocol > > fast enough to register the breakpoint before the startup code has already > > finished running. > > > > A good way to check if you're running into this issue is to add some kind > > of click listener with a breakpoint.
