"Out" - by Big Space Ship http://labs.bigspaceship.com/blog/?p=28
"...it does make it a lot easier to scan through large volumes of trace() output and find the information you're looking for by formatting it nicely. This means that every line traced out is prefixed with the classname of the instance executing the trace, as well as the type of event the trace is intended to represent. There's also the option of filtering the outputs such that only traces from specific classes or of specific types are displayed." -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of eka Sent: Saturday, April 28, 2007 12:33 AM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] How to call a global method like "trace"--not theclass method? Hello :) Try this code : class Debug { static public function trace(str:String):void { .. } static public function initialize() { _global.WRITE = Debug.trace ; } } /// in your code... first in your application : Debug.initialize() ; // now you can use the 2 solutions to debug your application : Debug.trace( "hello world" ) ; or _global.WRITE( "hello world" ) ; EKA+ :) 2007/4/28, Douglas Pearson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > We have a class used in a lot of code that has a "trace" method in it: > > class Debug { > public function trace(str:String):void { .. } > } > > Now we'd like to call the regular "trace" method from within that class, > but > all of our efforts call to the class's trace method. > > In C++ you use "::" to indicate a global method so it would be ::trace(). > > Is there anyway to do something similar in ActionScript?
