Do you have an mm.cfg file that enables tracing and sets the trace output file name and location?
Here's a technote about how to get mm.cfg set up correctly: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_19323 One that is all set up, your trace statements will be outputted to the file you specify and you can just tail that for all runtime trace statements. -deepa -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kyle Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2006 10:19 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Unable to get trace to work... I am writing some classes and am trying to use trace statements to test my methods; however, when I run (or debug) my application, my trace statements are not being output to the console window. Does anyone know if there is some setting or preference that I might be missing, or know what might be causing this? My test class looks like this: package { import flash.display.MovieClip; public class ProgrammingBasics extends MovieClip { private var _quantity:Number; public function ProgrammingBasics() { _quantity = 5; runTrace(); } private function runTrace():void { trace(getTraceValue()); } private function getTraceValue():Number { return _quantity; } } } The console output looks like this: [SWF] C:\Documents and Settings\kyle_vmix\My Documents\vMix\FLEX PRACTICE\bin\ProgrammingBasics-debug.swf - 395,243 bytes after decompression Thanks! -Kyle -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
