-- Lingo syntax _movie.traceLogFile // JavaScript syntax _movie.traceLogFile;
Movie property; specifies the name of the file in which the Message window display is written. Read/write.
You can close the file by setting the traceLogFile property to EMPTY (Lingo) or an empty string " " (JavaScript syntax). Any output that would appear in the Message window is written into this file. You can use this property for debugging when running a movie in a projector and when authoring.
This statement instructs Lingo to write the contents of the Message window in the file "Messages.txt" in the same folder as the current movie:
-- Lingo syntax _movie.traceLogFile = _movie.path & "Messages.txt" // JavaScript syntax _movie.traceLogFile = _movie.path + "Messages.txt";
This statement closes the file that the Message window display is being written to:
-- Lingo syntax _movie.traceLogFile = "" // JavaScript syntax _movie.traceLogFile = "";
