Output panel overview
When you test a SWF file, the Output panel can show information to help you troubleshoot your SWF file. To show this information, add trace() statements to your code or use the List Objects and List Variables commands.
If you use the trace() statement in your scripts, you can send specific information to the Output panel as the SWF file runs. This could include notes about the SWF file’s status or the value of an expression. For more information, see the trace() function in the ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference.
