I know, I know, I should really be using flashlog.txt but I despise the Flash Debug Player with a passion.
I've been fighting with a bunch of different flash loggers and so far the only one that I've made work is Xtrace; it connects but then logs:
<policy-file-request/>
And promptly disconnects. The debug output is printed over the flash movie which is better than nothing but hardly usable. I simply can't get it to log anything more, nor can I get it to send back a lax policy that will permit the logging. Zeroi just plain doesn't work with Xtrace, or at least I can't make it work. Xtrace was fantastic while it worked (in older versions of TM) but since it was upgraded a while back (and I am now running Leopard) it refuses to work. Ah, the joy of Flash security issues.
Other than flashlog.txt, what are my other possible options for logging trace() calls when building AS2.0 apps in TextMate? What do you use? How did you make it work?
This isnt excatly what you asked for in regards to trace(), but ive found http://code.google.com/p/flash-thunderbolt/ to work wonders, it exists for both as2 and as3 projects. For as2 projects it requires firebug http://getfirebug.com/ but if youre not using firefox you can also use http://getfirebug.com/lite.html
