Getting Started

We have devoted a section on our wiki to getting you running with FDT quickly. Check it out.

How can I use trace() with AS3?

The Flex SDK which is included in the FDT stand alone installation has to be installed. Furthermore you need the Flash Debug Player to start your application. Please make sure that you're really using the DEBUG PLAYER. If you want to check which version of the Flash Player is installed on your system visit the Adobe Version test. If everything is installed correctly open your main class and start your application with "Debug As... --> FDT AS3 Application" (instead of "Run As..."). Two consoles in eclipse will open one for the compiler and one for the debugger. The console for the debugger shows the output of your traces.
