I have been googling on how to actually implement this with no avail. Could not find a single resource on how to actually do it using Caliburn Micro.
Basically, I am trying this http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/OAuth_on_Windows_Phone
In the example, it used redirect_uri as normal link. I did it with Protocol/File Association (refer http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/URI_associations_for_Windows_Phone_8). Everything works fine. I got it to work without Caliburn Micro.
But based on that example, I would require to implement UriMapperBase and assigned it to RootFrame.UriMapper.
My question is how do I actually implement UriMapper with CaliburnMicro for WP8. For Win 8, it is different as I could override the OnActivate and check for the ActivationKind.Protocol and there is no need for UriMapper.
Ok. Finally managed to get it to work. So, will post it here because I'm pretty sure there will be a lost soul again like me who will appreciate the answer to this.
To use UriMapper in Caliburn, you will need to override the CreatePhoneApplicationFrame in the bootsrapper.
In Boostrapper.cs
protected override PhoneApplicationFrame CreatePhoneApplicationFrame()
{
// var frame = base.CreatePhoneApplicationFrame(); this doesnt work
var frame = new PhoneApplicationFrame(); // this works
frame.UriMapper = new AssociationUriMapper();
return frame;
}
AssociationUriMapper.cs - I just followed the example as per links above
public class AssociationUriMapper : UriMapperBase
{
private string tempUri;
public override Uri MapUri(Uri uri)
{
tempUri = System.Net.HttpUtility.UrlDecode(uri.ToString());
// URI association launch for contoso.
if (tempUri.Contains("pocketthis:MainPage"))
{
// Get the category ID (after "CategoryID=").
//int categoryIdIndex = tempUri.IndexOf("CategoryID=") + 11;
//string categoryId = tempUri.Substring(categoryIdIndex);
// Views/MainPage.xaml returns external exception,
// so remember the / before views
return new Uri("/Views/MainPage.xaml", UriKind.Relative);
}
// Otherwise perform normal launch.
return uri;
}
}
Hope this will help anyone trying to implement Uri/File Association in WP8 with Caliburn Micro.

In a MvvmCross app, I have a page with the classic chat behavior (WhatsApp like): this page shows the history of messages exchanged between two users with the last message at the bottom of the list.
I've successfully implemented the view in Windows Phone 8.1, but I'm struggling with a problem in Android.
I'll give you a short introduction and description of my problem and next I'll go through technical details.
INTRODUCTION
Actually, my need is to apply different style to messages sent by different users: tipically align left messages sent from other user and align right messages sent by me (I do this through the weight property); I need to apply a different drawable background and set different gravity property also.
I use custom binding because, AFAIK, those properties cannot be binded with classic binding: local:MvxBind="Gravity MyPropery" doesn't work because there is no Gravity property.
So, I have of course two axml files:
the first one contains the Mvx.MvxListView
the second one contains the item template for MvxListView
And I've created three different custombinding (for Background, Gravity and Weight) following these guides:
http://slodge.blogspot.it/2013/06/n28-custom-bindings-n1-days-of-mvvmcross.html
In MvvmCross how do I do custom bind properties
THE PROBLEM
I want that, when a user opens the chat View, the list widget shows automatically the last message. To accomplish this, I scroll programmatically the list to the last message and this seems to be the problem.
If I don't scroll programmatically, when I open the page and scroll manually to the end of the page, all custom bindings are applied successfully: I can see messages aligned right and left, with correct background and weight applied.
If I force the scroll programmatically, when I open the page I see a strange behavior: all the messages are present (classic binding, such as Text property, have been successfully applied), but custom bindings are missing. All the messages have the same background and are all left aligned.
BUT, if I scroll manually up and down, the custom binding are processed and the messages are displayed with right style.
DEBUG ANALYSIS
To debug the behaviour I've put a simple static counter in a custom binding procedure to track every time the function is processed.
public class LinearLayoutWeightTargetBinding : MvxAndroidTargetBinding
{
public static int debugCounter = 0;
public LinearLayoutWeightTargetBinding(object target) : base(target)
{
}
protected LinearLayout MyTarget
{
get { return (LinearLayout)Target; }
}
public override Type TargetType { get { return typeof(bool); } }
protected override void SetValueImpl(object target, object value)
{
var ll = (LinearLayout)target;
var itsMe = (bool)value;
var weight = itsMe ? (float)20.0 : (float)5.0;
var layoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(0, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WrapContent, weight);
ll.LayoutParameters = layoutParams;
Log.Debug("MeeCHAT", string.Format("LinearLayoutWeightTargetBinding::SetValueImpl::ItsMe:{0} - counter:{1}", itsMe, ++debugCounter));
}
public override MvxBindingMode DefaultMode { get {return MvxBindingMode.TwoWay;} }
}
By this way I saw that actually by scrolling up and down the custom bindings are applied (debugCounter increases correctly).
BUT when I apply the programmatically scroll, only the first 10 items are processed by the custom bindings and this seems the reason why I see the messages without the right style. Because I have a long list, only the first 10 items are processed but they are not visible (they are out of the visible area) and the visibile items have not been processed.
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Here are some details related to technical aspects of my app. I try to give you all important aspects.
ORGANIZATION OF THE VIEWS
By following the approach described by Greg Shackles in this article http://gregshackles.com/presenters-in-mvvmcross-navigating-android-with-fragments/ I have just one general Activity for the app and one Fragment for each View; then through a Presenter is possible to activate the right ViewModel and manage the stack of the navigation.
The Fragment for the View where I have the Mvx.MvxListView widget is
public class MyMatchersChatView : MvxFragment
{
public override View OnCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
var ignore = base.OnCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState);
var result = this.BindingInflate(Resource.Layout.MyMatchersChatView, null);
var headerFrame = result.FindViewById<FrameLayout>(Resource.Id.headerFrameMyMatchersChatView);
var headerWidget = new HeaderWidget() { ViewModel = this.ViewModel };
var tran = ChildFragmentManager.BeginTransaction();
tran.Add(headerFrame.Id, headerWidget, "headerMyMatchersChat");
tran.Commit();
var listView = result.FindViewById<MvxListView>(Resource.Id.messagesList);
listView.SetSelection(listView.Adapter.Count - 1); // Scroll to the end of the list
return result;
}
}
The statement listView.SetSelection(listView.Adapter.Count - 1); force the list to scroll to the end.
Last two things: how the custom bindings are registered and how are applied in axml file.
REGISTRATION OF CUSTOM BINDING
In Setup.cs I have:
protected override void FillTargetFactories(IMvxTargetBindingFactoryRegistry registry)
{
base.FillTargetFactories(registry);
registry.RegisterFactory(new MvxCustomBindingFactory<LinearLayout>("CustomWeight",
(b) => new LinearLayoutWeightTargetBinding(b)));
}
APPLYING OF CUSTOM BINDING
In my axml I have:
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
local:MvxBind="CustomWeight IsCurrentUser">
LISTVIEW AND VIEWMODEL
Here is the code of ListView
<Mvx.MvxListView
android:id="#+id/messagesList"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
local:MvxBind="ItemsSource MyMessages"
local:MvxItemTemplate="#layout/mymatcherschatview_itemtemplate" />
and the property in ViewModel
private IEnumerable<MyMatchMessageModel> _myMessages;
public IEnumerable<MyMatchMessageModel> MyMessages
{
get { return _myMessages; }
set
{
_myMessages = value;
RaisePropertyChanged(() => MyMessages);
}
}
ENVIRONMENT
Finally, here is my environment:
Visual Studio 2015
MvvmCross 3.5.1
Core targets: .NET Framework 4.5, Windows 8, ASP.NET Core 5.0, Windows Phone 8.1, Xamarin.Android, Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.iOS (Classic)
The Android app target is API Level 19 (Xamarin.Android v4.4 Support)
Xamarin 3.11.1450.0
Xamarin.Android 5.1.6.7
Someone can help me to understand if I'm doing something wrong?
Thanks for reading and for any help!
>>EDIT 1<<
I've changed my layout by adding stackFromBottom and transcriptMode properties and by removing the scrolling to below programmatically in Fragment obtaining an auto-scroll behavior, but the problem still remains: to see messages with correct style I have to manually scroll up and down (to activate the custom bindings)
Here is the new axml...
<Mvx.MvxListView
android:id="#+id/messagesList"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:stackFromBottom="true"
android:transcriptMode="alwaysScroll"
local:MvxBind="ItemsSource MyMessages"
local:MvxItemTemplate="#layout/mymatcherschatview_itemtemplate" />
...and the new code in Fragment
public override View OnCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
var ignore = base.OnCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState);
var result = this.BindingInflate(Resource.Layout.MyMatchersChatView, null);
var headerFrame = result.FindViewById<FrameLayout>(Resource.Id.headerFrameMyMatchersChatView);
var headerWidget = new HeaderWidget() { ViewModel = this.ViewModel };
var tran = ChildFragmentManager.BeginTransaction();
tran.Add(headerFrame.Id, headerWidget, "headerMyMatchersChat");
tran.Commit();
return result;
}
First thing I would do is to make sure that your custom binding is always getting called.
Set a breakpoint on the SetValueImpl() method and check it´s getting called on those problematic items. If that happens, then the issue relies on the view no getting updated for any reason and you should work on that. If it doesn´t break, you will know for sure it´s a custom binding problem (possibly a bug) in MvxAdapter.
If you find out it´s the second one. I would suggest getting rid of your custom binding and creating your own ChatListAdapter : MvxAdapter as follows:
public class CoolChatListAdapter : MvxAdapter
{
public CoolChatListAdapter(Context context, IMvxAndroidBindingContext bindingContext) : base(context, bindingContext)
{
}
protected override View GetBindableView(View convertView, object source, int templateId)
{
var item = source as MyMatchMessageModel;
var weight = item.IsCurrentUser ? (float) 20.0 : (float) 5.0;
var ll = (LinearLayout) convertView;
var layoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(0, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WrapContent, weight);
ll.LayoutParameters = layoutParams;
return base.GetBindableView(convertView, source, templateId);
}
}
Then, in your android view:
var adapter = new ChatListAdapter(this, (IMvxAndroidBindingContext)BindingContext);
_chatList = FindViewById<MvxListView>(Resource.Id.chat_list_view);
_chatList.Adapter = adapter;
In the N+1 video #34 (Progress), there was an example of using CreateBindingSet() for the Android version, which is not typical. But the narrator also mentioned briefly that the same can be done on the Windows platform.
As much as I tried, however, I am unable to get a View's property to be bound to its ModelView on the Windows Phone. I always get a NullReferenceException.
The closest I came was the code below, including suggestions from ReSharper. Here's my FirstView.xaml.cs:
using Cirrious.MvvmCross.Binding.BindingContext;
using Whatever.ViewModels;
namespace Whatever {
// inheriting from IMvxBindingContextOwner was suggested by ReSharper also
public partial class FirstView : BaseView, IMvxBindingContextOwner {
public class MyBindableMediaElement
{
private string _theMediaSource = "whatever";
public string TheMediaSource
{
get
{
return _theMediaSource;
}
set
{
_theMediaSource = value;
}
}
}
public FirstView()
{
InitializeComponent();
_mediaElement = new MyBindableMediaElement(this.theMediaElement);
var set = this.CreateBindingSet<FirstView, FirstViewModel>();
// the corresponding view model has a .SongToPlay property with get/set defined
set.Bind(_mediaElement).For(v => v.TheMediaSource).To(vm => vm.SongToPlay);
set.Apply();
}
public IMvxBindingContext BindingContext { get; set; } // this was suggested by ReSharper
}
I get a NullReferenceException in MvxBaseFluentBindingDescription.cs as soon as the view is created. The exact location is below:
protected static string TargetPropertyName(Expression<Func<TTarget, object>> targetPropertyPath)
{
var parser = MvxBindingSingletonCache.Instance.PropertyExpressionParser; // <----- exception here**
var targetPropertyName = parser.Parse(targetPropertyPath).Print();
return targetPropertyName;
}
I have not seen a working example of creating a binding set on a Windows Phone emulator. Has anyone gotten this to work? Thanks.
I can confirm that the narrator said that remark a little too flippantly without actually thinking about how he might do it...
However, with a little effort, you definitely can get the CreateBindingSet to work in Windows if you want to.
Before you start, do consider some alternatives - in particular, I suspect most people will use either Windows DependencyProperty binding or some hand-crafted code-behind with a PropertyChanged event subscription.
If you do want to add CreateBindingSet code to a Windows project then:
Add the Binding and BindingEx assemblies to your Ui project - the easiest way to do this is using nuget to add the BindingEx package.
In your Setup class, override InitializeLastChance and use this opportunity to create a MvxWindowsBindingBuilder instance and to call DoRegistration on that builder. Both these first two steps are covered in the n=35 Tibet binding video - and it's this second step that will initialise the binding framework and help you get past your current 'NullReferenceException' (for the code, see BindMe.Store/Setup.cs)
In your view, you'll need to implement the IMvxBindingContextOwner interface and you'll need to ensure the binding context gets created. You should be able to do this as simply as BindingContext = new MvxBindingContext();
In your view, you'll need to make sure the binding context is given the same DataContext (view model) as the windows DataContext. For a Phone Page, the easiest way to do this is probably just to add BindingContext.DataContext = this.ViewModel; to the end of your phone page's OnNavigatedTo method. Both steps 3 and 4 could go in your BaseView if you intend to use Mvx Binding in other classes too.
With this done, you should be able to use the CreateBindingSet code - although do make sure that all binding is done after the new MvxBindingContext() has been created.
I've not got a windows machine with me right now so I'm afraid this answer code comes untested - please do post again if it does or doesn't work.
I can confirm it works almost perfectly; the only problem is, there are no defaults register, so one has to do the full binding like:
set.Bind(PageText).For(c => c.Text).To(vm => vm.Contents.PageText).OneTime();
to fix this, instead of registering MvxWindowsBindingBuilder, I am registering the following class. Note: I have just created this class, and needs testing.
public class UpdatedMvxWindowsBindingBuilder : MvxWindowsBindingBuilder
{
protected override void FillDefaultBindingNames(IMvxBindingNameRegistry registry)
{
base.FillDefaultBindingNames(registry);
registry.AddOrOverwrite(typeof(Button), "Command");
registry.AddOrOverwrite(typeof(HyperlinkButton), "Command");
//registry.AddOrOverwrite(typeof(UIBarButtonItem), "Clicked");
//registry.AddOrOverwrite(typeof(UISearchBar), "Text");
//registry.AddOrOverwrite(typeof(UITextField), "Text");
registry.AddOrOverwrite(typeof(TextBlock), "Text");
//registry.AddOrOverwrite(typeof(UILabel), "Text");
//registry.AddOrOverwrite(typeof(MvxCollectionViewSource), "ItemsSource");
//registry.AddOrOverwrite(typeof(MvxTableViewSource), "ItemsSource");
//registry.AddOrOverwrite(typeof(MvxImageView), "ImageUrl");
//registry.AddOrOverwrite(typeof(UIImageView), "Image");
//registry.AddOrOverwrite(typeof(UIDatePicker), "Date");
//registry.AddOrOverwrite(typeof(UISlider), "Value");
//registry.AddOrOverwrite(typeof(UISwitch), "On");
//registry.AddOrOverwrite(typeof(UIProgressView), "Progress");
//registry.AddOrOverwrite(typeof(IMvxImageHelper<UIImage>), "ImageUrl");
//registry.AddOrOverwrite(typeof(MvxImageViewLoader), "ImageUrl");
//if (_fillBindingNamesAction != null)
// _fillBindingNamesAction(registry);
}
}
This is a skeleton from Touch binding, and so far I have only updated three controls to test out (Button, HyperButton and TextBlock)
So, I have successfully grabbed a value out of an XML document and set it into a separate class called "AddCommas." The trace functions have shown me that it sets properly.
For more details, my objective is to take the language indicator ("fr" for french or "en" for english), set it inside the appropriate class and into a variable I will use. Now, I am using this variable to be used in an if statement; which will help me format a number properly (commas, decimals, spaces) per the clients request.
However, my problem is when I try to get the value to use it. It always comes back as Null. I have placed traces all over my program trying to pinpoint when this happens, but I cannot find it. Here's the code...
The pull from the XML file and into the set (this works fine, but I am adding it for your benefit in case I missed something)
public var commaHold = new AddCommas();
localLanguage = xmlObj.localLanguage;
trace("localLanguage + " + localLanguage);
commaHold.setLanguage(localLanguage); // Set Language
//More code follows...
This is the set function istelf...
public function setLanguage(localLanguage:String){
langHold = localLanguage;
trace("Set Language = " + langHold); //This always shows a successful set
}
Now am I wrong in thinking that in AS3, once langHold in my AddCommas class has been set I should be able to use it without calling a get within the function I am using the If Statement in, right? Such as this?
var language = langHold;
if (language == "en"){
trace("Language is = " + language); // More code follows afterwards and as of now, this shows NULL
Now, I have attempted plenty of Get functions to add the language variable in the call itself to this function and it's always the same. Am I missing some fundamentals here?
Thank you very much for your time.
If you expect a string comparison you need to use quotes, unless en is a String variable since langHold is a String, like:
if (language == "en"){
Consider modifying the set function to use the as3 keyword like:
private var _language:String;
public function set language(value:String):void {
_language = value;
//do other stuff here if necessary, put a breakpoint on the line above
}
public function get language():String{
return _language;
//put a breakpoint on the line above
}
You should be able to see when any instance of your class has the property changed. The only other issue I can think of is it is not the same instance of the class and therefore doesn't share the property value you set earlier. In the debugger you can check the "hashCode" or "address" it shows for this to see if it changes when it hits the breakpoints.
Here's a sample Singleton structure in AS3 (this all goes in one file):
package com.shaunhusain.singletonExample
{
public class SingletonExample
{
private static var instance:SingletonExample;
public static function getIntance():SingletonExample
{
if( instance == null ) instance = new SingletonExample( new SingletonEnforcer() );
return instance;
}
/**
*
* #param se Blocks creation of new managers instead use static method getInstance
*/
public function SingletonExample(se:SingletonEnforcer)
{
}
}
}
internal class SingletonEnforcer {public function SingletonEnforcer(){}}
using this single shared instance from any other class would look something like this:
private var singletonInstance:SingletonExample = SingletonExample.getInstance();
ShaunHusain's theory of using a Singleton was the perfect solution I needed. However, his code gave me a bizarre 1061 error and my format and code appeared to be error free. Regardless, I looked up another way to use a Singleton as follows that worked perfectly for me. Honestly, Shaun's code should work for anyone and I have no idea why it wasn't. I am perfectly willing to admit that it was probably a typo on my end that I just did not see.
I ended up embedding the Set and Get within the Singletons class and used it as an intermediary to hold the information I needed. It worked perfectly.
package chart {
import chart.*;
//
public class StaticInstance {
private static var instance:StaticInstance;
private static var allowInstantiation:Boolean;
private var language:String;
public static function getInstance():StaticInstance {
if (instance == null) {
allowInstantiation = true;
instance = new StaticInstance();
allowInstantiation = false;
}
return instance;
}
public function StaticInstance():void {
if (!allowInstantiation) {
throw new Error("Error: Instantiation failed: Use StaticInsance.getInstance() instead of new.");
}
}
public function setLanguage(_language:String):void{
language = _language;
trace("language set = " + language);
}
public function getLanguage():String{
return language;
}
}
}
This code allowed me to hold the data and call upon it again from two different classes. It's a very hack job instead of just being able to pass on the variable from function to function, but in my case we didn't create this file, we are modifying it and attempting to do things beyond the original scope of the project.
Thanks again for your help Shaun! I hope this helps other people!
first time posting on here.
I'm creating an AIR 3.0 app.
For a lot of my graphical assets I'm using the Flex embed metadata to embed bitmap objects as Classes and then instantiating them.
The problem is that it seems these never get garbage collected. I haven't found much info online but I've seen a couple of posts that seem to confirm this.
Anytime one of my classes gets instantiated that has these embedded assets, they always create new instances of the Bitmaps and BitmapDatas rather than reusing what's already in memory. This is a huge problem for memory. And I can't find any way of de-referenciong them or getting them to leave memory.
So the only solution I can think is to just load the graphics from disk rather than using the embed tag. But I'd rather not do this seeing as how when the app is packaged and installed, all of those graphcial assets will be on the end users computer rather than contained within the SWF.
Anyoen run into this? Have a solution? Or an alternate solution than the one I can think of?
Thanks!
Kyle
Well, I guess this is expected behaviour, because the new operator should always create new objects. But those new objects should get garbage collected, just the asset class will not, since it is a class.
You could build a cache that acts like a singleton factory. You request your image by specifying an id, the cache then either creates that image if it doesn't exist already, or just return the single instance if it does. It's been a while since I last coded ActionScript, so maybe you should take this as pseudo-code ;)
public class Cache {
import flash.utils.Dictionary;
import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName;
[Embed(source="example.gif")]
public static var ExampleGif:Class;
/**
* The single instance of the cache.
*/
private static var instance:Cache;
/**
* Gets the Cache instance.
*
* #return
* The Cache
*/
public static function getInstance():Cache {
if (Cache.instance == null) {
Cache.instance = new Cache();
}
return Cache.instance;
}
/**
* The cached assets are in here.
*/
private var dictionary:Dictionary
public function Chache() {
if (Cache.instance != null) {
throw new Error("Can not instanciate more than once.");
}
this.dictionary = new Dictionary();
}
/**
* Gets the single instantiated asset its name.
*
* #param assetName
* The name of the variable that was used to store the embeded class
*/
public function getAsset(assetName:String):Object {
if (this.dictionary[assetName] == null) {
var AssetClass = getDefinitionByName(assetName) as Class;
this.dictionary[assetName] = new AssetClass();
}
return this.dicionary[assetName];
}
}
You could then use it like this:
public class Example {
public static function main() {
Bitmap exampleGif1 = Cache.getInstance().getAsset("ExampleGif") as Bitmap;
Bitmap exampleGif2 = Cache.getInstance().getAsset("ExampleGif") as Bitmap;
trace("both should be the same instance: " + (exampleGif1 == exampleGif2));
}
}
I didn't test this, so let me know if it works.
I think what you're looking for is dispose() http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/display/BitmapData.html?#dispose()
If you decide to go with a caching system, here is a link with some code that is tested http://thanksmister.com/2009/01/29/flex-imagecache-a-cheap-way-to-cache-images/ . The link it has to another technique, using SuperImage, is broken, but I managed to find this http://demo.quietlyscheming.com/superImage/app.html .
my question is simple, yet I couldn't find any answer of it in the net, maybe it's impossible to do...
The thing is that I have an ActionScript 3.0 application, and wanted to include a little one-line size textbox which showed all the trace() calls and such, which are shown in the console.
Has anyone got any idea of how can it be done? I would really appreciate it, as I have a full project with traces on it that I'd like to show, and it's now when I'm finishing that I'm realising I don't know how to do it :P
Of course not everything is lost, as I could just do my own class that showed there the messages, but it would be cleanier, and quicker not to have to replace all the trace() calls for my new class and method.
Regards and thanks in advance :)
I just did this last week.
There are logging frameworks for Flex out there. A shame, though, that Flex's logging only works in Debug mode. If you search SO for Flex logging you'll find various suggestions. None of them are amazing, IMO.
Finally I rolled my own by just creating a Log class with a static function that acts as a proxy for trace.
Something like:
public static myTrace(... args) : void { ... }
Then you just forward the args to trace but also to whatever other destination you want (e.g. an array of strings + dates) that you can then display in the log window.
Incidentally, I also used SwfAddress to trigger the log window whenever a certain parameter is added to the URL. Very handy.
Oh, what the heck.. here's the class. It just keeps the last 100 strings and there's also a "dump" function that you can invoke if you want to send the data to your server or just quickly print the entire history.
public class Log
{
public static var lines : ArrayList = new ArrayList();
public static const MAX_LINES : int = 100;
private static function logLine(line : String) : void
{
while (lines.length > MAX_LINES)
lines.removeItemAt(0);
lines.addItem({"line" : line, "time" : new Date()});
}
public static function logDump() : String
{
var ret : String = "";
for each (var entry : Object in lines.source)
{
ret = (entry.time as Date).toUTCString() + " " + entry.line + "\n" + ret;
}
return ret;
}
public static function debug(...args) : void
{
trace(args);
var line : String = "";
for (var i : int = 0; i < args.length; i++)
if (args[i] != null)
line += args[i].toString();
logLine(line);
}
}
Alternatively, you can use the ASDebugger
http://labs.flexperiments.nl/asdebugger-20-a-real-time-debugger-and-editor/
ASDebugger.debug( 'shallala' );
ASDebugger.debug_prop( variable );
Try to avoid using the debug display object option. The debugger can crash for complex objects (especially in flex)
You can probably do a simple replacement of 'trace(' to 'ASDebugger.debug('
