Hi I’ve been building a flash character builder in AS3 and have been getting really high CPU usage while it’s running. I’m trying to narrow down the problem so I was wondering if there was any app or something in Debug that i’m missing that would help me track down what specifically is causing such high CPU usage?

Thanks!
