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
