[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.

Re: [Flashcoders] display trace() in text field
I'm not quite sure what your asking. The trace output is nothing more than strings of text. Its completely possible to make a class that does the same thing for you but displays it in the Flash.

Re: [Flashcoders] display trace() in text field
In Firefox you can use flashtracer https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3469so I imagine using a similar method you could pull trace commands into an Air app. If you do end up using a textField, make sure to use += and a newline character \n in each call.

Re: [Flashcoders] display trace() in text field
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,
Sid
PS. You can ony do this from a class file. I don't think the Flash IDE
lets you override functions directly.

RE: [Flashcoders] display trace() in text field
Maybe I should have been a little more clear: I already know how to
display text in a text field. I specifically want to use the trace
command. My vision is to create a tool that will display trace commands
from existing .swfs. However, based on Jason's remarks, I guess I can't
do this.

Re: [Flashcoders] display trace() in text field
Michael,
When you override the exsisting trace function, you can do this. Just
include your own functionality in the overwritten trace function.
Its all because you want to have the same function call to trace() i
presume?
