How to check values of variables in actionscript with Flex SDK?

Question

I use Flex SDK in command line to develop a flash.
But trace() doesn't work with Flex SDK.
Is there another good way to check values of variables?

if you have the debug player, trace does work, just with the command line it's not outputting anywhere — divillysausages, Aug 31 '11 at 08:42

The easiest way to do this is to get a debug version of Flash and set up mm.cfg.

(You may need to swap C:\Documents and Settings with C:\Users)

Thank you very much for your answer. I tried that but that didn't work. But after a few hours struggle, i found the debug compile option is missing. ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3753649 ) I can trace variables now. thanks! – js_ Aug 31 '11 at 17:22

Another way is to get Firefox, install debug version of Flash Player and install Firebug add-on. In Firebug console you can see the output and traces of your flash app.

thanks for your answer. I tried your way but sadly Firebug console doesn't show trace from my flash app. Maybe because I use Mac. – js_ Aug 31 '11 at 17:29
