The <code>@ax-professional-flex-code-26-LocalConnectionTraceTarget</code> extends the <code>LineFormattedTarget</code> class to provide a basic output mechanism. This target uses <code>LocalConnection</code> to output the trace messages to any other application using <code>LocalConnection</code> listening on <code>_flex2tracepanel</code>.
see: mx.logging.targets.LineFormattedTarget


  
  public class @ax-professional-flex-code-26-LocalConnectionTraceTarget extends LineFormattedTarget {

Constructor.


  
    public function @ax-professional-flex-code-26-LocalConnectionTraceTarget() {
      super();
      
      lc = new LocalConnection();
      lc.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS, statusEventHandler);  
    }

@private


      
    private var lc:LocalConnection;

@private @internal Need to keep Flex 2 from throwing unhandled status errors


   
    private function statusEventHandler(event:StatusEvent):void {
      ; // Handles Event Status Calls
    }

The <code>internalLog</code> method handles the sending of messages.
parameter: event LogEvent sent to a <code>ILogger</code> from the <code>Log</code> class.


   
    override public function logEvent(event:LogEvent):void
    {
      var level:int = event.level;   
  
      var date:String = ""
      if (includeDate || includeTime)
      {
        var d:Date = new Date();
        if (includeDate)
        {
          date = Number(d.getUTCMonth() + 1).toString() + "/" +
          d.getUTCDate().toString() + "/" + 
          d.getUTCFullYear() + fieldSeparator;
        } 
        if (includeTime)
        {
          date = pad(d.getUTCHours()) + ":" +
          pad(d.getUTCMinutes()) + ":" +
          pad(d.getUTCSeconds()) + "." +
          pad(d.getUTCMilliseconds()) + fieldSeparator;
        }
      }
  
      var category:String = includeCategory ?
          ILogger(event.target).category + fieldSeparator : "";
          
      // Connection and Method specific to C# .Net applicaton Flex2TracePanel
      lc.send( "_flex2tracepanel", "logMessage", date + category + event.message, level);
    }

The pad method adds leading 0's to single digit numbers.
returns: The string representation of two digit leading 0 number.


  
    private function pad(num:Number):String
    {
      return num > 9 ? num.toString() : "0" + num.toString();
    }    
      
  }
  }
