There is now an online Flash tutorial available that describes how to use the tracing system. Included are sections on how to enable tracing, how to configure it from the web console or the command line, and how to put tracing statements in your code.
The URL is http://www.figresearch.com/movies/Tracing.html. A link to it is listed on the sidebar of the NMPDR Development Blog. The tutorial works in Firefox on the Mac and the PC, and Internet Explorer on the PC. It does not yet work in Safari, due to a problem with Safari being unable to recognize the Flash Player version. (It's always something.)
The tutorial is divided into several small sections that can be viewed individually, so that it should not be a burden to read through it. The first time you load it, the introductory animation will play a portion of Ellie's Favorite Fugue, so turn the volume down if you don't want to hear it. After that, you will be taken directly to the menu.
