In order to do trace, you need the debugger version of Flash Player from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html (look for "debugger" version specifically - they are hard to spot on first look)

Then an mm.cfg file in your home containing

ErrorReportingEnable=1 TraceOutputFileEnable=1 MaxWarnings=50

And then you are good to go - restart the browser. When traces start to fill in, you will find the log file in

~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/Logs/flashlog.txt

Something like

tail ~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/Logs/flashlog.txt -f

Should suffice to follow the trace.
