Trace Event

Posted by Pete Shand in Actionscript

It would be great to add a way to track trace events.

when testing flash within the browser its nice to be able to see the trace output. currently there are ways to do this with plugins for firefox or air apps from De MonsterDebugger, but sometime your testing on someone elses computer who don’t have these programs installed. if we had the above event we could simply read a class that shows a debug panel when you input some key combo.

stage.addEventListener(TraceEvent.UPDATE, OnTrace);
function OnTrace(event:TraceEvent):void
{
     textField.text = event.trace
}

if you’d like to see this event added to actionscript please visit the below URLs and add your support:
