I playing some Flash not related with FLARToolKit after a long time. yes, I came up with an idea during watching flashlog.txt. How do you debug Flash? I always debugging to watch flashlog.txt using with Terminal.app, like this.

tail -f ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash\ Player/Logs/flashlog.txt

Open Terminal.app (on Mac) and type this commande. Then, trace log displayed in realtime. Unix like log watching method. So, an inspration hits me. In Terminal.app, it's able to use escape sequence. Escape sequences are used to change the character color, cursor position and so on, to output centain character codes.

Then, I made it, ColorLog library.

You can control the character color and cursor position, if you don't know about escape sequenses. Of course, this library is based on assumption using Terminal.app and above command. Samples inculded in this library are useless, but it has some potential, I think. change the color by log level like INFO, WARN or ERROR.

Download from here. Demo swf using in the video is also uploaded. It' totaly useless to watch only swf. Please watch flashlog.txt with Terminal.app. I also commited the source code to Spark project.
