How then can I debug my ActionScript? The Flash Player has no error
console and stays absolutely quiet!

Hi,

You have to download the flash flayer and standalone debug version, try http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/9/flash_player_9_linux_dev.tar.gz

Actionscript trace() outputs of your swf are stored in  ~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/Logs/flashlog.txt.

I use
tail -f -n 20 ~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/Logs/flashlog.txt &
to see the debugs messages.

You can use a firefox extension called flashtracer to see outputs of the flashlog.txt file in the browser's sidebar: http://www.sephiroth.it/test/firefox/extensions/flashtracer_2.0.0.xpi
