The problem is currently there is no way to NOT use a custom trace function without editing the '.rb' file. It defaults to XTrace by default. A lot of Flash developers don't use a custom trace function at all and instead install the debug Flash player from Adobe.
I concur. I have yet to get XTrace to work at all, whereas the debug Flash plugin (once setup properly, but that is another story) and Console worked first time.
This is a cross platform option that doesn't require and additional classes or tools and you can debug the same way off a server or locally. So it would be nice to have an option not to remap the trace functions.
Again, yes, please. Pretty please :)
Here is a link to the debug players: http://tinyurl.com/lzqp4 A link to an old article: http://tinyurl.com/2delt9 This will create a flashlog.txt at: /Users/YOUR_NAME/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/Logs/ flashlog.txt
I just went through the pain of figuring this out myself (talk about bad timing, reading this e-mail would have saved me an hour or so).
This is a common suggestion. I'll try to add it right now (as in "I have the script open in another TextMate window as I write this" timeframe :)
Hmmm. Any updates coming up? Where can we get them? :)
Sure. The 'std' and 'std8' are just intrinsic classes that MTASC uses for generating compile-time code errors. If you are publishing for Flash 7 you wouldn't want to use the 'std8' classes.
Which also happens to be my case at the moment. I'd love to see this, since I _don't_ want to unwittingly use 8 or 9 features in the stuff I'm doing.
