Don't know if this topic can interest large part of Stencyl user, but I'm sure can interest a little part of developers.
To debug your Stencyl project you must debug the generated project you can find here: %APPDATA%\Stencyl\stencylworks\games-generated

After game selection you must create a new Flash Develop Project with the following data:
0. Go to %APPDATA%\Stencyl\stencylworks\games-generated\NameOfProjectYouWantDebug and then copy project.xml in other folder.
1. OpenFL Project
2. Location: %APPDATA%\Stencyl\stencylworks\games-generated\NameOfProjectYouWantDebug
3. Choose a project name
4. Leave 'Package' blank and 'Create Directory' unselected and create
5. Copy saved project.xml in %APPDATA%\Stencyl\stencylworks\games-generated\NameOfProjectYouWantDebug
6. Start Debug
7. Start Release

If Release is ok and Debug give you some problems, remember: Flash Develop need to run with jre 1.6 32-bit (you can find all you need in Flash Develop FAQ).

You used this for debugging behaviors made with Design mode?
Have you seen this guide?

I've moved this to the Guides & How-To's section.

And a small note: if you're on an OS other than Windows, or you've changed your workspace, you can find the games-generated folder by going to Debug > View > View Workspace Folder in Stencyl.

...if you're on an OS other than Windows...
To be fair, and to avoid potential confusion, FlashDevelop is not available for platforms except Windows. The rest of the comment applies, though. :)
