or you can override trace like so:

override public function trace(...args) : void {
        super();
        textFieldYouWantToTraceIn.appendText(args.toString());
}

This is from the top of my head, so the code could have errors in it.
Test it to see.

Cheers,

PS. You can ony do this from a class file. I don't think the Flash IDE lets you override functions directly.

function debug(s:String):Void

}

then instead of trace(someString);
you use
debug(someString);

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

Subject: [Flashcoders] display trace() in text field

Good morning everyone.



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.
