Even if you could (which I don't think you can), you absolutely should
not for the same reason you should never overwrite Object.prototype or
MovieClip.prototype. You're changing the way Flash works at a low-level
and you will produce unexpected behavior for everyone other than yourself.
This is an issue I feel very strongly about. When developers mess with
the basic way that things work in Flash, they're screwing over any
developer who has the misfortune to inherit their code. There's a
"developer" I know (who shall remain nameless) who built a framework
based entirely on overwriting Object.prototype and MovieClip.prototype
so you couldn't even put a jpg on the stage, turn it into a MovieClip
and say mc.onRelease = function() { trace("hello"); }; It just
wouldn't work. He also made it so useHandCursor = true never worked
ever because he thinks buttons shouldn't use them. Seriously. This guy
shouldn't be writing code period, but nevertheless he's a "senior
developer" at a major entertainment company in Los Angeles and I know
some of the poor souls who have to inherit his stuff. /rant
So, yes, you should do your own custom logger. There are many great
ones out there. Thunderbird for AS3 comes to mind as a particular
favorite. :)
