Usage
fl.trace( message )
Parameters
message A string that appears in the Output panel.
Returns
Nothing.
Description
Method; sends a text string to the Output panel, terminated by a new line, and displays the
Output panel if it is not already visible. This method is identical to
outputPanel.trace(),
and works in the same way as the

fl.trace("") or fl.trace("\n"). You can use the latter command
inline, making
\n a part of the message string.
