Log class (Flash Professional only)

ActionScript Class Name mx.services.Log

The Log class is part of the mx.services package and is used with the WebService class (see WebService class (Flash Professional only)). For an overview of the classes in the mx.data.services package, see Web service classes (Flash Professional only).

You can create a new Log object to record activity related to a WebService object. To execute code when messages are sent to a Log object, use the Log.onLog() callback function. There is no log file; the logging mechanism is whatever you have used in the onLog() callback function, such as sending the log messages to a trace() statement.

The constructor for this class creates a Log object that can be passed as an optional parameter to the WebService constructor (see WebService class (Flash Professional only)).
