There's already such action, but we think that it can be useful for IDE
developers only, so it is hidden. To get it add -Didea.is.internal=true
to the *.vmoptions file [1]. Run | Send Commands To Flex Debugger will
appear. Fdb should have (fdb) prompt available when you use it. Dialog
layout may be awful, you'll have to resize it.

Thanks for having made it clearer, got your point but in this case, could we
imagine a pass through, i.e. in the debug window, an input for commands to pass
directly to FDB ?

IDE will not set/remove breakpoints per worker, only for all workers,

Really ? look at the Java breakpoint window, it allows to set a BP for all
threads and also for a particular thread if I'm not wrong, why not for Flex as
it is now possible ? we don't have the same needs and expetactions than the
Java devs ?
In Java you can't select thread for which to set the breakpoint. You can
select what to suspend when breakpoint is hit: affected thread only or
all threads. Translating to Flash it means:
- suspend all threads (default in Java): when breakpoint is hit, iterate
all workers with 'worker X' and send 'halt';
- suspend affected thread only: default fdb behavior.
In Java there's nothing similar to 'set breakpoint for selected thread
only' and I can hardly imagine UI for it.
As a start I think I'll support default fdb behavior, i.e. suspend only
affected worker.
