trace()

Jun 12, 2012 6:48 AM

Hello, everyone!

I have an idea, but don't know if it is possible.

I want to make function trace() also send its answer to me (for example to some textField), not only to one of consoles. I suppose it may be extended, but how?

Please, give a hand.

    you can create a traceF() that executes trace() and assigns text to your textfield:

     

    function traceF(s:String):void{

    trace(s):

    your_tf.text=s;

    }

    This code is not the answer of function trace(), it assignes text, given to it. So it wouldn't be able to write an error (for example).

    What would be if I write this:

    function traceF(s:String):void

    {

         your_tf.text=trace(s):;

    }

    I suppose textField will throw errors of ".text cannot be null" and so on...

    the trace() function doesn't handle errors.

     

    use try/catch to direct (some) errors to a textfield.

    It will already be another story...

    So there is no way to extend function trace, like some class, and catch all it writes to console? Because errors are not only what that function 'answer'.
