Ext Debug Console for ADobe AIR Development

[jason]

I just wanted to say that, if any of you are developing Adobe AIR applications, the Ext Debug Console is awesome!

AIR has a trace functionality but I found myself opening the AIR app in FireFox in order to use FireBug (which of course throws tons of errors because the air libraries are not available). I was really frustrated with just using trace to see what's going on, which doesn't even work properly with my IDE (Aptana).

Ext comes to the rescue again - the debug console even allows me to see debug info after the app is compiled and there is no console view.

Thanks guys - great work!

I never thought of that! Nice idea.

The Ext debugger is also very handy when running a GWT app in hosted browser mode (which embeds IE on Windows). So while the IE Developer Toolbar is not accssible in the GWT hosted browser, The Ext Debug console works great.

Thanks for this tip Jason. It goes some way to reducing my frustrations with Air, but doesn't stop me wishing I'd started my current project in wxPython like I normally would for this type of thing. Back when I had a boss, he wouldn't have let me use Air...

Only now, at the end, do I understand...
