Logging/Trace

[tepGithub]

Hi Alex,
As I'm implementing more and more stubbed functions, I felt there's a need to do a better logging/error reporting. I know in libGL.as you have TraceLog() class to do just this (through trace()).

However, I don't have Flash IDE when implementing this. I use Visual Studio for typing and cygwin to run my test code. Hence, I couldn't see trace() output. Do you know any solution for this?

In addition, we may need to separate code to do tracing and error reporting. I'm thinking to have couple helper functions in TraceLog class:

• trace() - to trace code flow/execution, this will replace send()
• error() - to report any error - will be saved into a string (I can display in a TextField)
• log() - to do misc logging - will be saved into a string (I can display it in a TextField)

What do you think?

Thanks.

N.B: Which one is better, should I communicate thorugh github or do you prefer this kind of dicussion by emeail?

Sounds good to me, and I think its best to keep discussion here so other people that are interested can join in.

As for you issue not seeing trace output, I'm not sure what the problem is but have you read this: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=logging_04.html
