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.

Again, yes, please. Pretty please :)

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).

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.
