Description
Method; sends a text string to the Output panel, terminated by a new line, and displays the Output panel if it is not
already visible. This method is identical to
outputPanel.trace() and works in the same way as the trace()
statement in ActionScript.
To send a blank line, use fl.trace("" ) or fl.trace("\n") . You can use the latter command inline, making \n a part
of the message string.
Example
The following example displays several lines of text in the Output panel:
fl.outputPanel.clear();
fl.trace("Hello World!!!");
var myPet = "cat";
fl.trace("\nI have a " + myPet);
fl.trace("");
fl.trace("I love my " + myPet);
fl.trace("Do you have a " + myPet +"?");
