Package	com.daveoncode.logging
Class	public class LogFileTarget
Inheritance	LogFileTarget mx.logging.AbstractTarget

This class is the most important of com.daveoncode.logging package, it's objective is to extend Flex's loggin framework in order to write log messages to a file. It overrides mx.logging.AbstractTarget's logEvent() method, creates a LogRecord object and then uses the LogWriter class to write it to the file. Important: this class uses the Singleton design pattern, you can't create new instances of LogFileTarget, but you have to use getInstance() method to access to the only instance available.

Example

// LogFileTarget's configuration
var target:LogFileTarget = LogFileTarget.getInstance();

target.file = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("myApp.log");
target.dateFormat = "DD/MM/YY"; // optional
target.sizeLimit = 2048; // optional

// Filter classes
target.filters = ["];

// Manually creation of a LogWriter for LogFileTarget in order to add event listener (optional)
var writer:LogWriter = new LogWriter(target.file, target.sizeLimit);

writer.addEventListener(LogWriterEvent.WRITE_SUCCESS, this.successHandler);
writer.addEventListener(LogWriterEvent.WRITE_FAILURE, this.failureHandler);

target.logWriter = writer;

// Log all levels
target.level = LogEventLevel.ALL;

// Begin logging
Log.addTarget(target);
