RemoteTrace 1.0 - Useful Debugging Tool
This has to be the most simple, yet useful tool I have created in a long time.
It is called RemoteTrace, and I dont really know why I didnt create it earlier. Right now, as you can see below in the demo, it is a very simple tool, and there is only one use for it right now: Seeing your traces in an external movie!
Here is a preview:
Simple use guide:
- Place an instance of the RemoteTrace on the stage and give it an instance name of anything, rt_mc for example.
- Then add the following code:
Actionscript:
-
rt_mc.trace("Foo Bar", true);
The second parameter (Boolean), determines whether you want your traces to be numbered, defaults to false.
-
- Publish your movie!
I plan on integrating a simple AS 2.0 interpreter for an even further debugging. I have seen some around but most are pretty much out dated. So lets see how that goes.
Oh, and; I am anxious to know what you all might think about it! Let me know!

Hey Your site is a little “different” but not bad.
I’ve seen a lot worse. Good content but try spicing it up a bit.
Thanks and good luck!

Steve, awesome site. I followed a google for a redirect tut, and followed the link to your site. (but decided that a redirect wasn’t appropriate)
But anyhow, looking at not only the content you have for flash, coding, etc. but also, nice graphic design and done in css-p.
Very nice site. I’ll be back.
Thanks,
Art Hansen
