The ActionScript Profiler records the time that Flash Player takes to perform tasks in ActionScript. Most commonly, you use the Profiler to determine how long an ActionScript function or method takes to execute, how often it is called, and how much time is spent executing in its descendants. The Profiler can also show you the length of time ActionScript uses to instantiate objects.
In addition, the Profiler records frame data, which shows you how long Flash Player takes to render a frame for the client. This helps identify which objects might be taking too long to initialize, or whether there are bottlenecks due to heavy graphics use or poor coding.
The Profiler relies on the Flash Debug Player to collect profiler data and store the data in files on the client in a binary format.
Flex stores the Profiler's output data in the Profiler web application's
/profiler_web_root/WEB-INF/ProfilerData directory. The default location is /profiler/WEB-INF/ProfilerData.
