Use the trace statement
A
trace()
statement sends specific information to the Output panel. For example, while testing a SWF file, you can
send results to the Output panel when a button is pressed or a frame plays. The
trace()
statement is similar to the
JavaScript
alert
statement.
When you use the
trace()
statement in a script, you can use expressions as parameters. The value of an expression
appears in the Output panel in the test environment.

Select a frame in the Timeline and add a
trace()
statement. For example, you might select Frame 1 and add the
following ActionScript 2.0 code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("img_mc", 10);
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
mclListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
trace(ta" loaded in "+getTimer()+" ms");
};
mclListener.onLoadError = function(target_mc:MovieClip, errorCode:String,
httpStatus:Number) {
trace(">> error downloading image into "+target_mc);
trace(">>\t errorCode="+er", httpStatus="+httpStatus);
};
var img_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
img_mcl.addListener(mclListener);
img_mcl.loadClip("http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/images/404.jpg", img_mc);

Select Control > Test Movie to test the SWF file.
The Output panel displays the results of the
trace()
statement. For example, the panel might display the following
message:
