Can't get Output Window to show

[MorningZ]

I've got trace statements inside a class file like (actually, i'll just post a super slimmed version of my class's code):


class panel1 extends mx.screens.Form {
private var panel1_btn:mx.controls.Button;

function panel1() {
this.addEventListener("draw",this);
}

private function handleEvent(evtObj:Object): Void {
if (evtObj.type == "draw") {
panelLoad();
}
}

private function panelLoad(): Void {
panel1_btn.label = "Loaded";
trace("Loaded");
}
}


Now i absolutely, positively know that the class is wired up to the screen properly and that the class code's code works (because the button's label indeed changes to "Loaded" instead of the "Continue" its set as in the designer)

So anyways, i press F2, i see no output window, i go into "Window" / "Development Panels" and "Output Window" most indeed is checked off as being visible, but my desktop shows no 'trace' of it (yeah, bad joke)

Any ideas?
