Since I’ve been more busy with flash lately, I almost forgot about flash tracer.

This is a nifty tool I usually use when developing flex. It opens an output panel in your firefox browser window, displaying everything that is outputted by flash / flex in your browser.
This is cool because then you don’t have to shift to your flex IDE’s console panel to see obvious runtime errors (or traces :p)
This can be time saving and just plain handy.

I admit, a logger is a much better way to debug an application, but hey the occasional trace can sometimes do the trick when time is scarce and solutions are needed fast.

As I was saying, I did more flash development lately and didn’t have the need to use this lovely tool.
In the meanwhile, a Firefox update was released. Result => the add-on that firefox has ready for users in the add-on pages is outdated.

Today, my colleague Bart Claessens pointed out that it could be found Here

Happy tracing
