outputPanel object
Returns
Nothing.
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
fl.trace() , and works in the same way as the trace() statement in
ActionScript.
To send a blank line, use outputPanel.trace("" ) or outputPanel.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.outputPanel.trace("Hello World!!!");
var myPet = "cat";
fl.outputPanel.trace("\nI have a " + myPet);
fl.outputPanel.trace("");
fl.outputPanel.trace("I love my " + myPet);
fl.outputPanel.trace("Do you have a " + myPet +"?");
