Trace from the browser update for latest Flash Debug Player
As of Flash Player version 9,0,28,0, Adobe has stopped using the mm.cfg file and changed the location of flashlog.txt.
I've updated my "Trace from the browser, using standard trace()" tutorial to reflect this change.
On OS X (I am still on PPC) to avoid having to create an mm.cfg file you can read the generated flashlog.txt file directly via terminal
And by creating alias to the paths things could not be simpler
Paste these 2 lines into Terminal (change your Username before hand then press return after each)
Alias 1:
alias trace=tail\ -f\ "/Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash\ Player/Logs/flashlog.txt"
Alias 2:
alias cleartrace=rm\ -f\ "/Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash\ Player/Logs/flashlog.txt"
You will need the debug player of course:

Then to watch the live tracing from your browser open Terminal and type trace
