I guess because you have no server-side component then will have to build what you are suggesting. Because yes, only by configuring debug will it spit out the logging statements. But be very careful, doing a rolling log is nice, but this is on a client PC and you dont want to fill up the hard drive, make sure it only keeps the last 5 days of something like that. Best of luck and do share with the community, maybe someone else will have the same use case in the future. Dimitrios Gianninas RIA Developer Team Lead Optimal Payments Inc.

That's why I require some logging mechanism which will store information on user machine like all desktop applications do. @Dimitrios: I think, current logging framework provides TraceTarget and it logs output only when application is running in Flash Player Debug version. Isn't it? Also to enable this logging, we will have to first ask user to configure this trace logging in mm.cfg and then application will start logging and may be on second run actual problem doesn't happen. Of course, build in framework provides a very nice foundation classes. I am thinking of few helper classes like RollingFileTarget (which will log messages to a file and it will be rolling), and LogConfigurator (it will configure logging system from a config file) etc. Does this make sense? - Shahid On Wed, Oct 8, 2008 at 6:25 PM, Dimitrios Gianninas <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: Howard is right... remember if you create a logging framework that logs things the client app is doing, the log will be generated on every end-users computer...do u intend to retrieve all logs files from all users when an error happens? Kinda difficult. Use the existing logging framework and logs all critical stuff in there, when an error occurs, have your tech dept call the end-user reproduce the problem and get the flashlog.txt file right then and there.

Given that Air and Flex are front-end technologies, wouldn't the log storage be on the back-end, thus implying both some communication between the two and the back-end component that does the log writing and storage? You could create a web service (written in Java, ColdFusion, .Net, etc) to catch the log events coming from the AIR app. On Wed, Oct 8, 2008 at 1:41 AM, Shahid Faiz <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: Thanks for the link.
