Client-side logging and debugging

Often, you use the trace() method when you debug applications to write a checkpoint message on the client, which signals that your application reached a specific line of code, or to output the value of a variable.

The debugger version of Flash Player has two primary methods of writing messages that use trace():

• The global trace() method. The global trace() method prints Strings to a specified output log file. For more information, see Using the global trace() method.
• Logging API. The Logging API provides a layer of functionality on top of the trace() method that you can use with your custom classes or with the data service APIs. For more information, see Using the Logging API.
