Here's what I saw: 1) I was able to debug a new hello world project in IntelliJ. 2) My existing project debugs correctly in Flash Builder. 3) Taking the exact same project into IntelliJ IDEA would freeze after the app loaded. Everything loaded correctly until a lot of swf files are loaded into the app (about 20). At that point, code execution seemed to stop. 4) Running the app from within IntelliJ worked correctly. 5) Starting fdb from the command line and running the app from either IntelliJ or Flash Builder resulted in the same problem as #3.
Apparently IntelliJ IDEA uses fdb under the hood, but Flash Builder uses a modified version of it. The modified Flash Builder version works with my project, but the standard fdb freezes execution.
