haXe supports code injection just like MTASC.
Don't forget to use -swf-lib (SWF Library selection in haxeFD plugin) to 
select your ui.swf

In Flash9, it will include debug informations so you will get file+line 
numbers when an exception occur.

In Flash8 it will maintain a stack array that can be accessed through 
haxe.Stack.callStack() and haxe.Stack.exceptionStack(). It will also 
display uncaught exceptions when they occur (using default trace() output).

If you want to use the debugger, it's possible with a Flash9 project by 
compiling with -D fdb . There is no debugger support for Flash8- (= no 
SWD output).

Hope that helps,
