How to output some log to console when developing flex application?

Question

I'm new to flex, and trying to write some demo applications. Now I have a very newbie question: How to output some log to console(or somewhere else I can see) in a flex application?

In other language, I can use:

System.out.println("mylog");
console.log("mylog");

But I don't know how to do the same in flex.

Answer 1

As mentioned here, you can achieve this by doing

import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
ExternalInterface.call("console.log", "YourString");

Answer 2

You have several options here:

• trace()
• Flex loggers
• Flex-console (uses MiniDebugTarget)
