Flex Trace Panel 1.5b2 available
I uploaded a new beta version of the Flex Trace Panel - some people asked me to resurrect the "clear" button so here it is again :) Also, I added a "save to log file" function which allows you to dump the content of the text area to a text file on your local machine.
The download is available here.

Many thanks Dirk! I’ll be making good use of the trash can and I am sure the 'save' button will get some use as well :)

Please PM me for screen snapshots.

Hi Allen,
unfortunately, there's a bug in the current version of the tool Zinc I used to create the Trace Panel with. The error doesn't occur on every machine and sometimes only infrequently - sorry, I don't really have a solution for you. The topic is also discussed here: http://www.mdmforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=12472&hl=ntdll\.dll
Dirk.

We had some problem with the performance of SWF-based applications - here is ourWindows .NET "native" implementation http://www.ajaxmaker.com/xpanel/xpanel.htm - used primarily for complex visual controls, drag/drop tracing, etc. Note: Uses different value for connection in Logger.as

It'd be nice if you could get this to work with beta 1 now :)

I made some minor modifications to the Dumper.as class file and Trace Panel now seems to work, at least for me, with Flex 2 Beta 2. Basically only had to declare types for a few variables, import the flash.net.LocalConnection class, and wrap the whole thing in a package block.
I'm not really sure why but I had to include a declaration like "public var dd:Dumper = new Dumper();" in the file containing the Dumper.dump reference. I guess this makes the Dumper class actually load. There may be another way to do it but this works.
Dirk, if you email me I will be glad to send you the source. If it checks out, maybe you can put out a new release of Flex Panel.

Bill,
Can you email me that new class, I'm building a FB 2 Beta 3 app and this would really help.
Thanks,

Hey,
thx for the tool.
ERROR: couldn't create connection to remote application. Make sure the application is running and you only have one instance of this panel running. Click the 'reconnect' button to proceed.
When my application is running I have this error. I think I'm doing something wrong.

Hi Dirk,
Would it be too much to ask for Mac standalone version. See my problem is that can't open .exe files on my comp :D
Thanks so much

Hey Dirk. I'm back using Flex v.2.0.143459, and I'm having trouble getting Dumper to work.
On compile, I'm getting the error "A file found in a source-path must have an externally visible definition. If a definition in the file is meant to be externally visible, please put the definition in a package." out of Dumper.as.
I installed to the root of the application, so I shouldn't be having any class path issues.
Any ideas? Thanks! -Carl
