flashlog viewer

I want to build a开发者_如何学JAVAn application using air. The application should load the flashlog file and display the contents after performing some text filtering. But when i load the application this clears my flashlog.txt though my file mode is READ.

I can understand that running my air application clears the flashlog and prepares it for new logging. Is there a workaround for this.

I dont want to open the flashlog file everytime and check for traces from my web application

You might try http://code.google.com/p/flash-thunderbolt/wiki/ThunderBoltAS3 or run tail -f on the flash log file.
