Troubleshooting widgets

Use the trace command to print values of widgets. When the command is tested using Flash, the print statements appear in the output window.

In Adobe Captivate, you can print the trace messages to a text file using the instructions given at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/client_debug_print.html. The document is for Flex, but it is valid for Flash also. http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_19323.

Alternatively, you can also devote a text area in a widget to viewing the debugging messages.
