CNET Editors' review

by: CNET Staff on February 27, 2009

This is a handy tool for Flash developers, but users will for this freeware with the time it takes to configure it. FlashTracer installs easily through the Firefox add-on menu, but that's the last easy aspect of this application. FlashTracer has only a short Help dialog screen, but it could really use an installation wizard.

The program requires users to first install the Flash Player debug version. Then users must figure out which number debug version they've installed. That knowledge is required to set just one of the configuration options you'll need to enable this utility. Most users will need to check the publisher's Web site to find current installation information.

When it works, FlashTracer displays the contents of the flashlog file as you play a Flash file. Simple single-click controls pause or resume the file display, clear the output console, or lock the scroll position. You can view the FlashTracer display either as a Firefox sidebar, or in a pop-up window.

Flashlog information is primarily of interest to Flash developers. Most should have the experience needed to properly set FlashTracer's configuration, but it will take more time than most Firefox utilities to set up. All who do so will find the freeware informative, accurate, and helpful.

Publisher's Description

From Alessandro Crugnola:

While running any .swf Flash file in your browser you can see all the output generated by the trace flash functions in this sidebar component. You need the flash player debug version to run this extension correctly.
