output window

[Ultra Pulse]

Does Koolmoves have an output window like Flash does? From what I know, no, but I never actually used one before. Also am I right or wrong;
the "trace" comands give text to the output window.

Wilbert did this some time ago --


Place this on the first frame of your movie along with a dynamic textfield called "debug". Make sure the textfield is set to multi-line.

_global.trace = function(stuff){
_root.debug += stuff + "\n";
};

Then if you wanted to see the value of a variable called "myVar", do this:

trace("myVar = " + myVar);


If you export as flash 6 or higher, this will need to be modified because the object name is not the name of the variable.

I see, thanks, I'll try it out.

So if you do that, when you want to trace something, whats the Actionscript?

It's not a true trace you are just sending stuff to a text box on the stage that you will later remove.... THis is sort of what I do.
