Comment trace JSFL

Do you recognize the following situation?
You have to change a small thing in a FLA that colleague / freelancer made.
So you open the FLA export it, and the output window get filled with numbers, variables, booleans and other trace comments…

Of course you know that a trace should be removed after it did what you put it in for, but not everybody knows that.
So you decide to remove the traces in the actionScript layer:

1. CTRL + F (find)
2. Type in Find what: “trace (“
3. and type in Replace with: “// trace (“
4. press Replace button

or

1. Commands
2. [mck] Comment trace

(you can even give a command a keyboard shortcut)

It’s one of the features that I love from SE|PY, the AS-editor I’m using when I’m not scripting in the Flash IDE editor.

How to install:
Save [mck] Comment trace in the jsfl commands folder or just use the installer

Limitation:

• Only in one frame
• When you use in the Action (F9) panel, the ‘pin active script’ to pin a couple of frames with actionscript, it doesn’t work
• words with trace in it… example var traceThis = "foo";
