Adobe Scout CC 1.1.3 for Mac
Mac Developer ToolsAdobe Scout CC 1.1.3 for Mac was Adobe's visual profiler for Flash Player and Adobe AIR content, released in its final form in May 2017. Connected over a telemetry link to running Flash content on a desktop or mobile device, it showed exactly where a game or application spent its time and memory, so developers could find and fix performance bottlenecks.
It was built for Flash and ActionScript 3 developers, especially game makers using Stage3D, who needed frame-by-frame detail ordinary debuggers could not provide. Scout was freeware through Creative Cloud in its day, but is now discontinued: Flash Player reached end of life in December 2020, Scout was removed from Creative Cloud, and there is no supported version or official download for modern Macs.
Key Features
- Frame-by-frame profiling of ActionScript 3 code execution, rendering and memory use
- Detailed CPU breakdown covering code, 2D DisplayList rendering, network and video
- Stage3D profiling with rendering preview and draw-call recording and replay
- Profiling of content running locally or on a remote device over a telemetry connection
- Historical session data, letting you compare performance before and after a fix
How to Download
- There is no official download today: Scout CC is a discontinued product and is no longer offered on Adobe.com or in the Creative Cloud app.
- Developers maintaining legacy Flash or AIR projects should rely on archived, already-installed copies only, and use modern browser and native profiling tools for new work.
Was Adobe Scout CC free?
Yes, Scout was offered as freeware to Creative Cloud members in its time, which is different from the paid Adobe editors on this page. That does not help today, however, as the discontinued app has no official download or support.
Does Scout CC work on current Macs?
Realistically, no. Scout depends on Flash Player telemetry, Flash reached end of life in 2020, and version 1.1.3 dates from 2017. It should be treated as a historical tool for legacy projects, not a profiler for current development.
