Thank you Jesus, and Jeckyl!
I was about to throw something and I don't mean an exception.

an earlier post on this topic had this answer

[quoted text, click to view]
My trace ceased working (no output to the output-panel) and my "omit trace
actions" was NOT checked. After hours of disgust, rebooting, reloading
Flash,
etc etc, I finally stumbled on 2 fixes. And I hope they will help anyone
else
experiencing the same problem. And, btw, it wasn't just that the "trace"
wasn't working, but error-output would not work as well (output panel just
blank each time, even when a script compile-error was reported).

1) In the output panel's upper-right menu drop-down, you will notice a
"Filter
Level" option. In it is "None" & "Verbose". YOU WANT THIS SET TO VERBOSE!
You would intuitively think that "None" sounds like "no filtering", but this
is
Not the case. It's just the opposite. Nothing is output! ....extremely
stupid, I think. Why would I not ever want any reported to the output
panel?
especially error messages?!?!??

2) Buggy, flaky thing here.
Even w/all else set right, Flash sometimes still decides not to output any
of
my "trace"s. However, if I force a script-error to occur & then compile
it....
an error WILL BE sent to the output panel. After this, my traces will again
work. Weird....

I hope this helps someone else. I chased "ghosts" for many hours, until I
realized it was my traces not working.... *sigh*
