Using the trace statement

When you use the trace statement in a script, you can send information to the Output panel. For example, while testing a movie or scene, you can send specific programming notes to the panel or have specific results appear when a button is pressed or a frame is played. The trace statement is similar to the JavaScript alert statement.

When you use the trace statement in a script, you can use expressions as parameters. The value of an expression is displayed in the Output panel in test mode, as shown here:

The trace statement returns values that appear in the Output panel.

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
  trace("onClipEvent enterFrame " + enterFrame++)
}
