var hero:Sprite = new Sprite();
hero.x = 200;
hero.y = 200;
hero.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loop);
addChild(hero);

Profiling
Limitations today with Flash
Player and AIR

Profiling
Limitations today with Flash
Player and AIR
VM only
Today, using the profiler in Flash Builder only exposes VM related
information.
Debugger builds only
The existing Flash Builder profiler relies on debugger builds
(performing slower than release builds).
Not stable
Complex content can also crash your profiling
No in-context testing
Being able to use release builds allows easy in-context testing.
No visualization
There is no existing tool allowing developers to easily spot
issues in their content.
No mobile profiling
There is no out of the box solution to profile mobile content
(AIR) today.

Adobe Scout
Revolutionize the way you profile
Flash content across desktop and
mobile devices.
Scout exposes granular
information never exposed
before to Flash developers.
No code instrumentation
needed.
Works with the release Flash
Player and AIR runtime.

Configure with
Companion App
(App Store/Google Play)
