Short of making it work in both SWF and JS, couldn't we just make it work in JS 
by adding a "debugger" global variable to the JS typedefs?  Then it could be 
wrapped in COMPILE::JS blocks and used in Royale without changing the compiler.

Just wondering,

    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://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fapache%2Froyale-compiler%2Fcommits%2Ffeature%2Fdebugger-statement&data=02%7C01%7Caharui%40adobe.com%7Ca4c16903fac8469646d508d5cbd7ad0e%7Cfa7b1b5a7b34438794aed2c178decee1%7C0%7C0%7C636639049541335043&sdata=5o0BcP4AJs9WJMxTDPkKYLaRok1LRfYxtyLr9RA6pFg%3D&reserved=0
    
    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.
