Trace only sends strings to the Flash or Flexbuilder output window, so no. However, all you have to do is set the variable you want to see to the text property of the textfield:
myTextField.text = myVariableIdLikeToSee Jason Merrill Bank of America Instructional Technology & Media · GCIB & Staff Support L&LD Interested in Flash Platform technologies?

Is it possible to display trace actions in a text field? I realize there are numerous other troubleshooting tools similar to trace, but I specifically want to display trace actions without any additional coding required in the target file. I want to create a debugging tool in AIR that will allow me to display trace actions from currently running swfs. I suspect this isn't feasible, but any tips or ideas would be appreciated, Thanks.
