How to use
Arthropod is really easy to use. Basically the only thing you need to do is import the Debug class, write a log message with the log function, start Arthropod and publish your site / AIR application.
To hide the Bitmap window, Array window and clear the output field, just click on the main area and press Backspace (<–).
Step-by-step:
- Download Arthropod
- Install Arthropod
- Add the Debug.as file to your Actionscript 3 library under com/carlcalderon/arthropod/
- Import the Debug class by inserting
import com.carlcalderon.arthropod.Debug; - Place a Debug.log method execution where ever you want to make a trace, like this;
Debug.log("my message"); - Start Arthropod
- Publish your site/ AIR application.
- The message “my message” will be displayed in Arthropod.
