I just researched the flash.trace.Trace class Alex mentioned and found http://blog.sangupta.com/2011/08/magic-of-flashtracetrace.html
which was blogged by Sandeep (who is on this list as well). A quite interesting (undoc'ed) feature that might be handy but I guess this is a debug runtime / debug build feature only.
