What's the easiest way to debug an ActionScript class file?

I'm currently using FlashBuilder to edit ActionScript 3.0 class files. I can't run the debugger in Flash Builder because the classes are actually built around the Flash Authoring Tool.

Flash Auth Tool has a lousy debugger (IMO) and it only allows breakpoints for inline Timeline scripting.

So basically I'm stuck without a debugger (that can use breakpoints).

How can I start using the Flash Builder debugger, while sticking to the .fla environment?

Or... how can I convert my .fla file into something Flash Builder can use (some MXML perhaps?)

Any help greatly appreciated..

Your best friend in that case is to use copious logging. The trace function can be used for such a purpose, however it doesn't support configuration, logging levels, etc. You might want to use one of the many logging frameworks for ActionScript or implement your own for such a purpose.
