 * 
 * This is the client code that needs to be implemented into a 
 * Flash, AIR or FLEX application to collect debug information 
 * in De MonsterDebugger. 
 * 
 * Be aware that any traces made to De MonsterDebugger may 
 * be viewed by others. De Monster Debugger is intended to be 
 * used to debug unpublished Flash, AIR of FLEX applications in
 * the environment that they will be used in as a final product. 
 * Please make sure that you do not send any debug material to
 * the debugger from a live running application. 
 * 
 * Use at your own risk.
