Would it be possible to set the debugger to break on any exception? This would be a big timesaver.

What about breaking on 'flash.debugger.enterDebugger'?

Debugger does break on exception for me.

I see, it breaks only on unhandled exceptions, outside any try..catch handler. But if you are using try..catch to surround all your code, the only way to get a breakpoint via code is to re-throw inside your final catch(), which gives you no stack trace or local vars for the scope where the original exception happened. I would like a setting for a breakpoint on ANY exception.

Alternately, if we had a breakpoint via code, I could put one in every catch() handler when in debug mode.
