Xtrace is a popular debugger console on OS X for logging your trace() data outside the Flash IDE. For easier handling I decided to write an extension for Zeroi that keeps your standard trace() methods in your code.
In my previous posts “trace() outside the Flash IDE with tail” and “Are you looking for AFTERTHOUGHT on OS X?” I described two similar ways for debugging Flash movies outside the Flash IDE. In fact, it’s relatively simple to use the Flash Debug Player in connection with the logging file called flashlog.txt but it has only got one big disadvantage: Instead of outputting structured data in predetermined levels you’ll get tons of unstructured lines.
