OK, I downloaded Scout & ScoutEnabler. I learned enough to be able to run it and I found the problem area.
The swf in question has 10 tabs with more than 300 objects spread among the tabs. The TabNavigator has creationPolicy="all" set so that once the swf is loaded the "as" code can start populating various comboBoxes and other components on the hidden tabs. My working hypothesis is flash get's "hung" building all those components at once. If this is the case, how can I get rid of creationPolicy="all" and once the screen becomes visible, force the creation of all the hidden tabs before I try to populate them? While this may take a little longer, it would provide a better user interface. ---------------------------------------- From: "Paul Stearns" <pa...@compuace.com.INVALID> Sent: 2/10/19 6:55 AM To: "users@flex.apache.org" <users@flex.apache.org> Subject: Profiling I have a routine that "disappears" for a few seconds. I would like to turn profiling on just before this begins and off when it comes back. Is this possible? Since the app does many things, I want to isolate just this section where as far as I can tell it is not executing any code from my application. I am currently using FlexBuilder 3, but will use whatever is available as long as the learning curve isn't too steep and it works with my 3.6 code.
