Question

I am a new comer to AS3, and I want to output a string to see its value, just like printf of C or cout of C++. Below is the code. I want to see the result of compressing string “abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz”, and I tried trace(), but when I run it, nothing appeared on my browser. Please help me, thanks!!!

public class StringCompress extends Sprite
{
    public function StringCompress()
    {
        var beforeCompressStr:String ="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
        var afterCompressStr:String = Compress(beforeCompressStr);
        trace(afterCompressStr);
    }
            ...
}

You cannot get a trace output on the browser without the help of a 3rd party plugin.

You can install flashbug :

So as to get the trace output there.
