Hey all,

I’m working on a AS3 Debug class, now although I’ve had some problems (helped in a previous kirupa post) my big concern is how to make the Debug class globally accessible?

In AS2 we had a Debug class which we call the static trace() method in and it declares itself as a \_global variable but it seems the \_global declaration is depriciated in AS3?

Does anyone know of a better way or alternative way to achieve this? so I can reference the Debug class from any other class or scope in an application.
