how do i clear the trace output window?

[taonuts]

Hello, I cant figure out how to clear the output window! I am tracing a few things and the output window fills up with info and i want to call a function and clear it out. How do I do this!?:confused:

I don't think the output window can be accessed within the Flash IDE to clear it with actionscript. You can always right-click it and choose clear, though. Or depending on how tall your output window is, you could have a function send it line breaks to act as sort of a clear....

Hope this helps.

Yeah, I don't believe there actually is a method you can call to clear that... It needs to be done manually...
Or, you can create your own trace method that outputs data into a textfield somewhere where you can implement your own clear method...

Second this. If you are dependent on clearing the trace, you can use another tool to trace, like Demonster debuger (http://demonsterdebugger.com/) This library supports a MonsterDebugger.clearTraces() method. But that means importing a class obviously so not really effective unleass you like the other features it provides.
