Readable trace JSFL

Oke I’m getting into it, after comment trace JSFL and uncomment trace JSFL I created another trace related JSFL command.

It’s a extension on a trace that really says nothing;
you are testing the code you just written
trace (thisVar);
but you really want to:
trace ('thisVar: ' + thisVar);

And now you can: change the first trace into the second, more readable trace with just one click

How to install:
Save [mck] Readable trace.jsfl in the jsfl commands folder or just use the installer:

[mck] Readable trace (Flash) Adobe Extension Package File

Read more about the Extension Manager

Limitation:

  • Only in one frame
  • When you use in the Action (F9) panel, the ‘pin active script’ to pin a couple of frames with actionscript, it doesn’t work

    I find when I alter a comment trace (JSFL) the uncomment trace JSFL will subsequently influence the trace (‘thisVar: ‘ + thisVar); code. How can I change the first trace without substracting the previous set up? Thanks.

    Hi Herald,

    thx for using my JSFL and I appreciate the feedback you are giving me.

    But I can’t reproduce the error you described, so could you do something for me:
    1. write step-by-step what you are doing…

    For example (and this is what I make of what you describe in your comment):
    #1: CTRL + tr
    #2: write thisvar >>>> trace (thisvar);
    #3: use readable trace JSFL >>> trace (‘thisvar: ‘ + thisvar);
    #4: use comment trace JSFL >>>> // trace (‘thisvar: ‘ + thisvar);
    #5: change something >>>> // trace (‘thisvar is IMPORTANT: ‘ + thisvar);
    #6: use uncomment trace JSFL >>>> trace (‘thisvar is IMPORTANT: ‘ + thisvar);

    and something should go wrong, if I read your comment correctly, but it doesn’t.


    2. send me a part of your code / FLA so I can test it
    3. Flash version (for example Flash CS3) and OS (Mac or PC)

    I hope you can help me, figuring out what is going wrong
    so thx for that in advance

    Greeting
    Matthijs aka [mck]

    Sorry Herald,

    The E-mail address you used with you comment doesn’t work!
