[haXe] Debugger Request.

[hank williams]

I *totally* agree.

Flex2 is great for my big app, but for the lightweight stuff its not
good at all.

There is no way to build lightweight apps for flash 9. No one has yet
ported a framework and so you have to do everything from scratch. Even
the stuff we could use in flash 7/8 is not available.

Regards,
Hank
