Often times a developer would like to have an easy way to append data to a log on-screen. Unfortunatly, using a simple TextArea and appending text becomes very slow operation. This component allows you to append text with minimal slow-down for massive amounts of data.
- Quickly append and scroll through text data.
- Set the searchText field, and all log-items matching that text are highlighted in green.
- findNext() scrolls to the next log-item containing searchText
- Simple 1-file (.swc) install
Precompiled swc binary can be found here.
First, download the .swc above. Then add it to your FlexBuilder project library path. Then you can use it to your heart's content in your mxml.
An example of it being used is just a few short pixels below this paragraph. That example will spew out data into the LogViewer for about a minute and a half once the page is loaded. The first number represents the line # of the log-item you're viewing, as you can see it easily handles tens of thousands of log-items. (I call them log-items because they could each be longer than a single line as seen below.)
Right-Click, view-source to see all the source of the example below.
