why does trace function not work?

[billystar]

hi,

ive just started actionscripting instead of tweening so be gentle!

i use mx 2004 but i cant get the trace function to work.., here is the code form a kirupa tutorial...

_global.myvar=5;
trace (_global.myvar);

why does this not work? i thought it shud display 5.

ta, Billy

Umm it works for me, im using MX. Are you just pressing play or acutally testing the movie (ctrl + enter)?

Make sure that you enabled the trace action in the Export settings :)
