Function detail

trace

()function 
public function trace(... arguments):void

Runtime Versions:  1.0

Displays expressions, or writes to log files, while debugging. A single trace statement can support multiple arguments. If any argument in a trace statement includes a data type other than a String, the trace function invokes the associated toString() method for that data type. For example, if the argument is a Boolean value the trace function invokes Boolean.toString() and displays the return value.

Parameters

... arguments — One or more (comma separated) expressions to evaluate. For multiple expressions, a space is inserted between each expression in the output.


Example  ( How to use this example )

The following example uses the class TraceExample to show how the trace() method can be used to print a simple string. Generally, the message will be printed to a "Debug" console.
<html>
    <head>
      <script src="AIRAliases.js" />
      <script>
        function init() {
            air.trace("Hello World");
        }
      </script>
    </head>
    <body onclick='init()'>
    </body>
