"Getting log output from an embedded Flash component is a huge chore, but with Canvas you can simply use console.log to output status messages to the inspector."
Hmmm, you might be doing it wrong. Just trace(whatever); and keep a terminal open running tail -f flashlog.txt and you're good to go.
I like to call from ActionScript out to JavaScript and call the normal logging component there - means that Flex/Flash log entries are shown in the same log as entries from JavaScript component.
