I have adobe 8.0 professional I cannot store variables. My experience is in visual basic and have little javascript experience. I used the following code var x = 5 debugger shows no scripts or local variables.

If I put in a function that is incorrect the debugger flags it as a bad function. But var x = 5 does not store the variables

I never use the debugger, just the console. If you want to see the values of your variables use app.alert or console.println to print them out...
