I read a thread from a few weeks ago, and Amy was using Alert to debug
in the browser.
So am I, and its moderately successful, but I wonder if there is a
better way?
I: linux, eclipse, flex builder
Actually, I was using Alert because I was NOT in the browser--it was in
the Flash Player ActiveX control inside an application. The problem
was that some interaction between the styles I was using and a Text
control was hosing the display list (and I never got to the bottom of
it--I just switched to TextArea), so Alert was failing to come up.
I use trace() when it _is_ in the browser, but in this case it wasn't
possible. I think debugging Flex is an art form--you learn how to
place your break points so as to avoid the horrible trap in UIComponent
where step over and step out stop working.
