[haXe] trace not scrollable?

[Franco Ponticelli]

The information on the book is not accurate on this matter. The text field
shows by default the last lines output by trace but no scrollbars will ever
appear. This is because the trace function uses a standard TextField object
that has not those facilities. You can alway provide your own replacement
for the trace function overriding the haxe.Log.trace method. If you are
developing for a Flash website and your preferred browser is Firefox; I
strongly suggest to redirect you trrace to Firebug using the following
simple statement at the beginnig of you application:

if(haxe.Firebug.detect()) haxe.Firebug.redirectTraces();
