New Version 1.0.1

Flash Logger

A Flash Logger Utility making it possible to log from flash to a JavaScript API that allows you to easily turn logging on and off, without having to edit your SWFs. Just a few features include:

Support for all modern browsers (tested list is coming.)

Flash Logger Console: A console that will display your messages. Lets you filter by message type, and logging instance.

FireBug Aware: The console won't load if FireBug is active. This can be changed via configuration.

Object Inspection: Inspect ActionScript and JavaScript objects and arrays in a FireBug-like inspector in any browser.

You can see the test SWF in action here: http://www.thomporter.com/open-source/flashLogger

The demo from the download can be viewed here: http://www.thomporter.com/public/flashLogger-1.0.1/examples/loggerTest.html

Better documentation coming soon!

Version History:

1.0.1 - May 3rd, 2009

• FlashLogger Console Added - Allows debugging in any modern browser (see http://code.google.com/p/flashlogger for a list of tested browsers.)

Object Inspector - Objects (Flash and ActionScript) can be inspected in the console.

ActionScript Class Log modified to support debug(), info(), warn(), error() and reset() methods.

Many features surrounding the new FlashLogger Console have been added.

Global Options $FLOptions can be set with 3 possible options:

forceConsole: Boolean - default false - forces the console to load in the presence of FireBug, and to have any logging done via $FL() to report there.

autoLoad: Boolean - default false - causes the console to open when the page loads, instead of waiting for the shortcut key (forceConsole required to get the console to load in the presence of FireBug)

shortcutKey: Char - default 'c' - A single character representing the shortcut key to open/close the console, used in conjunction with the shift key. (ie, shift+c)

Depreciated: The use of $FL('my_instance','something to log') has been removed. Use $FL('my_instance').log('something to log');
