FlashTracer (2.3.1)

(Updated Mon July 7 2008) Flash tracer is a firefox extension which enables you to see all the output generated by any running flash swf movies ( the output generated by the trace flash method ).

You NEED a flash player debug installed in your Firefox in order to run this extesion correctly. For a list of available flash players please visit this page: http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html.
This extension support some basic features like:

• live filters which enable you to filter all the output using basic patterns.
• Custom styles: you can filter the output using a regular expression pattern and then apply custom css formatting to the matched string

Once installed you can open the flash tracer both as sidebar and as floating window from the Firefox Tools main menu.

In order to work you need to specify the correct path of the "flashlog.txt" file, generated by the debug flashplayer itself.

• Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\{user}\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\Logs\flashlog.txt
• Windows Vista: C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\Logs\flashlog.txt
