I'm trying to create a _root level trace function where I can simply
pass a variable to a protoype function and it prints out the variable
name and value. Here is the pseudocode for what I want to do:
MovieClip.prototype.TraceThis = function(str){
Trace(str.Name + ": " + str.Value);
}
var myVar:String = "This is my value";
TraceThis(myVar);
Simple function that would save time when developing by allowing me to
just pass a variable and it would spit out both the name and value
without me always typing it out (trace("myVar = " + myVar).
I guess I'm lazy...
