[osflash] [MTASC] -trace to call the original

[Juan Pablo Califano]

I'm afraid it's not going to work, since trace is not a regular function; it
gets compiled down to its own bytecode in the swf as oposed to a normal
function call.

However, you can switch between regular trace and a custom function with
using the MSTAC switch, or (more tedious...) manually replace al trace calls
to some function you define, wich could then call the native trace and
possibly another trace function you are using.

Cheers
