Yeah that's cool Aaron, I dig the concept. So basically, its a logger with filters that's really lightweight and is just listening for any swf sending it log data, is that about right?
I like the multiple channel idea, that's something that's been on the "to be looked at" list. You know, with more items like this, xray and FlashInspector, it'd be nice to have some cross support for eachother. I know I had talked about doing this along time ago, but having some reserved localConnection names and possibly some API's published so that the tools could be customized/integrated where you want them. LIke I know that people might like Xray for certain features, but they dig FlashInspector's logging over xray's. It'd be nice to have them in the same container if I wanted to make that available for people. Know what I mean? I don't know, Just a tought. PS> again, I dig how lightweight this seems - a simplified UI can never be under estimated in it's affect on how the user feels about using it. I could easily see people opting for something like this, where as Xray seems a bit overwhelming, know what I mean? JG On 6/10/06, Aaron Buchanan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
