Hey Chris, We use Scout here and in my opinion it's possibly the best thing to come out of adobe since Director :). In order to get the most out of it for your application you need to enable telemetry on each running swf. This method is not recommended, but it works for us: - Build our AIR application as normal (which includes runtime-loaded swf modules). This can be in release mode to give better representation of bottlenecks - Install the AIR app as normal - Run this python script on each .swf (I use python 2.7 and no dependencies): https://github.com/adamcath/telemetry-utils/blob/master/add-opt-in.py
To run the script, i made another little script which looks for swfs in a specified path and runs the script from there. Both the following and the add-opt-in.py need to be in the same place (in my case C:\Python27\Scripts) #script start import inspect, os, subprocess base_path = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\InstalledApp\\" current_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(inspect.getfile(inspect.currentframe()))) script_path = current_path + "\\add-opt-in.py" print(script_path) print "Base path set to "+base_path for dirname, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(base_path): for filename in filenames: filename_parts = os.path.splitext(filename) if filename_parts[len(filename_parts)-1].lower() == ".swf": swf_path = os.path.join(dirname, filename) print "Processing "+swf_path subprocess.call(["python", script_path,swf_path]) #script end I think I remember reading somewhere that Apache flex mxmlc now includes telemetry options out of the box, but I haven't played with it yet.
