Hey

Small thing there must be way to do, had a search but can’t find it.

I’m a PHP coder at heart and have \*\*echo ‘\<pre\>’; print\_r($); echo ‘\</pre\>’; \*\*bound to ctrl+e in dreamweaver as i find it priceless for finding what’s in an array/object.

Is there a way in AS3 you can potentially do the same with trace or a different command for finding what is in objects?

Thanks in advance!
