RE: [flexcoders] Net.Connection debugger - Is there something like it in Flex2?

[Peter Farland]

If you're using a raw NetConnection, then... no, not natively from the client. There are third party tools out there that sniffing AMF over HTTP traffic.   However, I'd first try using some of the utilities that Flex has to dumping an object graph to a string:   import mx.utils.ObjectUtil;   ...       trace(ObjectUtil.toString(result));     If you were using FDS channels and messaging then you could take advantage of the mx.logging framework by creating a trace target to dump the traffic out to the flashlog.txt file. A simple way to do this is to add       <mx:TraceTarget level="0" />   to your MXML to see everything that was logged... however if you want to filter this information you'll need to read up on the ASDoc on logging targets and use some script to customize the information being displayed.   FWIW, NetConnection Debugger relied on some mix-ins in your app that intercepted trace calls to an underlying NetConnection and then broadcast this information on a local connection to the NCD... Flex 2 has moved beyond this architecture and now uses a messaging framework and a logging API that decouples how a request is made from the service being contacted. I would love to see people in the community writing their own implementations of mx.messaging.Channel or perhaps a simple mx.logging.ILoggingTarget that reported info back to the old NCD!   Pete   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Phil Marston Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2006 9:52 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Net.Connection debugger - Is there something like it in Flex2? or any other way of seeing what's being sent to AMFPHP and coming back?
