Debugging flash using the Firebug console

What is this Tutorial?
When a flash application is going live, his behavior may sometimes not exactly run as expected!
I was looking for a solution to debug an online application, but I didn't find anything that corresponds to my needs! In most of the cases, the best way to know what is going wrong is to use Firebug to check the application status.
So, why not using Firebug to output some variables or anything we want to check ?
The Firebug console was originally designed for developing JavaScript but can also access it from Flash thanks to the class ExternalInterface.
Who is the intended Audience?
Well Firebug is a tool that every web developer is supposed to know! So, in this tutorial I'm going to assume that you all have Firebug already installed in your browser and know how to use it!
If you don't know what I am talking about, you really should check it out here: Firebug. To use it with IE, you will have to install the console for IE.

First I developed it for myself, but I think it could be useful for other developers!
