Breakpoints, when using Flex Builder, appear to be external metadata  
separate from the source.
I've played around with the idea of adding them within comments,  
parsing the document on compile,
then starting fdb. However I've not yet got it working...

As far as I know your only other option is fdb, this seems a  
reasonable howto:
