Trace in FlashBuilder 4.7 not working

Question

I'm using FlashBuilder 4.7 and Flex SDK 4.11.

I've created new Mobile Flex Project and created 2 files in default package:

bestPairs.mxml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
           xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
           xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" 
           xmlns:bestpairs="*"
           width="640" 
           height="480">

<s:layout>
    <s:BasicLayout />
</s:layout>

<s:Label text="Hello World!" horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0" />

<s:Button id="myButton"/>

</s:Application>

Main.as:

package 
{
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

import mx.events.FlexEvent;

import spark.components.Button;
import spark.components.Group;

public class Main extends Group
{
    public var myButton:Button;

    public function Main()
    {
        super();
        this.addEventListener(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, onCreationComplete);

        trace("main!");
    }

    private function onCreationComplete(e:FlexEvent):void {
        this.removeEventListener(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, onCreationComplete);
        myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
    }

    private function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
        // Do something
        trace("clicked!");
    }
}
}

because I want to split code from design. Anyway trace are not showing at all. In Debug Mode too. I tried also this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3627826/1264375 (I made flex-config.xml file in src/config and added parameter to compiler - http://blog.flexexamples.com/2008/12/21/using-a-custom-flex-configxml-file-in-flex-builder-3/) and other googled solutions. Nothing is working I just see this:

[SWF] bestPairs.swf - 3,190,645 bytes after decompression

and later on:

[Unload SWF] bestPairs.swf

I'm using iPhone4 Air simulator to test app.

Is there any way to display trace logs? It's hard to develop without them.

Any help will be appreciated, Regards!

Unless I am missing something, you never add a Main object to your application. For the trace to occur, you have to instantiate an instance of Main. Prior to that, none of the code in that class will run
