Quick Tip: Override toString();

Sometimes when making custom classes a trace of an object just isn't enough information. For instance, if I had a custom person class, a trace would probably look something like [Object Person]. A quick and easy solution is to override the objects toString() method to provide a more detailed explanation. As with all good things though, use it in moderation. There is no need for each class to spill it's guts in a simple trace. Sometimes a movieclip should just be a movieclip.
