[...] Almost one year ago I started to develop a small extension called ThunderBolt AS3 for logging ActionScript 3 applications using Firebug as simple as possible. Today its nice to see that the community uses and supports this extension as well. [...]

Brain,

thanks for your hint – I’ve updated the ThunderBolt AS3 package based on your comment

I factored function “trace” and made it look more like the Java way:

…
public static function trace (msg: String = null, obj:Object = null): void
{
depth = 0;
//
// log description
logLevel = (msg != null) ? Logger.getLogLevel(msg) : Logger.LOG;
var txtMessage: String = (msg != null && msg.length>= 3) ? msg.slice(2) : “”;
doTrace(logLevel, msg, obj);
}

private static function doTrace (level:String, msg:String, obj:Object):void {
var logMsg: String = level.toUpperCase() + “: ” + msg;
ExternalInterface.call(“console.” + level, logMsg);
//
// log object
if (obj) Logger.logProperties(obj);
}

public static function info (msg:String = null, obj:Object = null):void {
depth = 0;
doTrace(INFO, msg, obj);
}

public static function warn (msg:String = null, obj:Object = null):void {
depth = 0;
doTrace(WARN, msg, obj);
}

public static function log (msg:String = null, obj:Object = null):void {
depth = 0;
doTrace(LOG, msg, obj);
}

public static function error (msg:String = null, obj:Object = null):void {
depth = 0;
doTrace(ERROR, msg, obj);
}
…

======================================================
Usage:

Logger.info(message:String, object:Object);

Logger.warn(message:String, object:Object);

Logger.error(message:String, object:Object);

Logger.log(message:String, object:Object);
