Automatic conditional debug/release execution in ActionScript 3 (Flex 3)

I made this little tutorial on how to detect if the Flash file was compiled in release or debug mode.
I don't know if someone else did this before, but if not, I hope you find it useful.

Hmm, wow. haXe has conditional #if #end blocks built-in to write platform-specific code, but any arbitrary phrase(like "debug") is also allowed. So this problem doesn't exist in haXe! Instead, we get "this feature is only supported in Flex" problems!

But if you have to define DEBUG yourself, isn't the same deal?
I mean, it doesn't solve the fact that you must change something besides the compiler command line.
Same problem.

I think this is useful for people that forget to change stuff up between debug and release modes.

No, you compile with -debug. It's a command line flag.

Neat, good to know.

I pretty much had my own debug output class rolled up but this is a tremendous lifesaver. Incorporates nicely into my already existing code. Thanks a alot!
