Research direction
Start by examining the current web demo page at web/packages/demo/www/index.html to understand the existing UI. Look at the Ruffle source code for SWF tag parsing and display list implementation in rust/src/ to see how to expose that data to the frontend. Investigate any related discussions in the issue comments and check if there are existing debugging tools. Then propose a specific subtask implementation, such as adding a tree view of display list, which requires both frontend and backend changes.
