Using Animate with Adobe Scout

Animate can now leverage the advanced telemetry features provided by Adobe Scout. This feature allows you to retrieve and use the intuitively collated profiling data provided by Scout.

Scout is an analysis and profiling tool for Flash runtime that allows you to analyze performance of applications designed for mobile, desktop, or web. Scout is designed to provide accurate data aggregated from several system resources. The data provided is intuitive enough to easily measure, profile, and analyze performance of applications.

Scout provides basic telemetry data for any SWFs running on a computer. To enable and view advanced data, Animate provides additional options on the Publish Settings dialog.

To integrate Animate with Scout, download and install Scout on the same computer that has Animate installed. You could also install Adobe Scout on a different system, and use the Remote Logging functionality, to retrieve telemetry data for SWFs running remotely.

Note: Ensure that the Wi-Fi connection between the system and the device running the application is non-faulty and stable.
