i heard that you can check your codes by using the ‘trace’ code thing but how do you use it?
i checked the actionscript dictionary but it was very confusing so can someone plz help me explain it simply…? thx very much
trace commands are most for debug use, let´s say that you have a movie that is not working properly and you want to check if you´re passing/retrieving the ballSpeed variable right, so, you add this command:
trace ("speed of the ball= " ballSpeed);
[SIZE=1]the text between “” will be set to a static text string, and the ballSpeed will return the the value of that variable[/SIZE]
them you test your movie in flash. The output window will return:
speed of the ball = [COLOR=red]value[/COLOR]
you compare the value, if it is what you´re expecting so you´re passing/retrieving that variable correctly, if not…
=)
trace ("speed of the ball= " + ballSpeed);
You have to concatenate the strings you put in the trace with the ‘+’ operator.
pom (-:
yeah I forgot the + signal.
Thanks Ilyas!
