Can't Trace

It was still working some hours ago but now, it is not. Before that, I could still trace message and the output window will just pop up and show the message. But now, no matter how I trace, it don’t show up in the output window anymore! I dont think my syntax has any problem. This is what i typed:
trace(“test”);
I put this code at the first frame of the stage’s timeline and ran it.
I tested this on both Flash MX and 2004 and they both don’t show the output window with the message at all. I tried opening the output window and then run but the output window shows blank!

After this, I tried it in Flash 5 and it worked well. The output window showed the word “test”. Kinda weird? Did I accidentally set anything I didn’t notice that caused this?
I am a little new to actionscripts as I am always into tweening until recently. Hope somebody can help me…thanks…

would this help?

anymore help please? :frowning:

can you try posting your code so we can see??? waht exactly are you tracing???

i have said u tried to trace it by typing trace(“test”); on the first frame of a blank new file but the output window just don show.
initially, i was trying out with some button with this code in a button’s action:
on(press) {
trace(“pressed”);
}
however, it doesnt trace at all. that’s why i tried to type it in the first frame of a new blank file.
