Within the context of the FITTEST project, one of our tasks was to instrument ActionScript bytecode, so that aspects of the execution of the running application are logged. Although the decision what to log and when requires manual intervention, the code itself can be weaved into the system automatically by means of aspect-oriented programming (AOP). In this paper we describe Asil, an AOP EDSL for instrumenting ActionScript bytecode, that is firmly based on well-known functional programming technique to provide abstraction mechanisms that other AOP languages tend to lack.
