flash.sampler

The flash.sampler package contains methods and classes for tracking procedure calls so that you can profile memory usage and optimize applications. This package is used by the profiling agent distributed with Adobe Flex Builder, and is provided for your use for customizing the profiling agent or building your own memory tests. After you know where an application uses the most memory, you can focus your optimization effort and speed up the application's performance. The classes and methods in this package require the Flash Player debugger version Update 3 or later. For more information, see the flash.sampler methods overview.
