Question

I’m quite new to flex/actionscript and I was wondering if there is an equivalent for php’s (and other languages) FILE and LINE identifiers?

Basicly I want to do some custom error logging and would like to something like:

 var mymessage:String = 'Oops, a hiccup occured at ' + __FILE__ + ', line: ' + __LINE__; 

Where file and line would ofcourse be substituted for their values at compile time.

Is this possible?

It’s not directly possible, but there’s a fairly usable workaround for personal testing

var stackTrace:String = new Error().getStackTrace();
if (stackTrace) {
    var mymessage:String = "Oops, a hiccup occurred " + stackTrace.split("\n")[1];
}

Adjust your abuse of getStackTrace to taste.
