If you are using FLashBuilder, you should be able to see traces in the console if you use "Debug as" menu option. Usually a SWF is launched with parameters from an HTML wrapper, and FlashBuilder will start up a browser with that HTML wrapper.

I'm making good progress on getting my first serious application running, but I'm getting frustrated beyond belief in trying to debug this thing. First, is it possible to pass query string paramaters to the SWF when I'm running flashplayerdebugger? I haven't found any clues as to how to do that in my Googling. Second, is there a reasonable way to debug using something like the print statements I'm used to in my python programming? I know that Flex has the "trace" statement, but I haven't been able to figure out how to actually see what's coming out when I call that. I can read what gets written to flashlog.txt but anything meaningful gets lost in all of the "Warning: CheckVisibility is not a function" lines that get written there (which is immensely irritating since I'm not directly calling CheckVisibility anywhere). Any help you all could offer would be greatly appreciated. I'm not new to programming (been programming in c for > 20 years, perl for > 10 years, python about 5 years, java for a year or so), just new to Flex and what appears to be a dearth of debugging tools.
