Debug jsfl in ExtendScript for Flash CS5

Question

This is a generic noob question, but I'm trying to figure out how I can debug some JSFL that I created by stepping over it when the code runs in a Flash CS5 file. ExtendScript's DEBUG drop-down menu "fired" gray ...

If I double-click the file, it runs in Flash, and the output appears on the Output tab. But I want to execute my code in debug mode and watch the values ​​of the variables that it executes against the current open Flash file.

Is it possible? Is there an alternative way to do this?

Thanks in advance!

If you want to edit the JSFL file using Flash, you need to open it with File> Open, and not with dbl. For "debugging" I suggest using fl.trace ("some text in quotation marks" + or ScriptVars)
