- AS3 Conditional Breakpoint – enterDebugger()
I have to confess I didn’t know about great function enterDebugger() in flash.debugger package. If you ever want to have conditional breakpoint you can do it programatically. Just add this statement to your code and debuger will stop as it there would be normal breakpoint. So you can use it in IF statement and call it just when some conditions are met. I think I will use this function a lot from now on 
Enjoy

As Pieter wrote, they should be available in next version of Flex. If that’s true, it’s good news
