Justin Mclean commented on FLEX-23466: -------------------------------------- Interesting enough this was added (caching framework RSLs) and then taken away with the donation to Apache Flex. As framework RSL caching is a Flash Player feature there noting Apache Flex can do about this issue. (Sadly). > Very Simple Proposal to Speed Up Download Times and Perceived Performance of > Flex Apps > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLEX-23466 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-23466 > Project: Apache Flex > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: .Unspecified - Framework > Affects Versions: Adobe Flex SDK Previous > Environment: Language Found: English > Reporter: Adobe JIRA > > I have been spending months trying to optimize some of our Flex apps, using > all the standards out there (RSL, Modules, externalizing assets, making code > smaller too, etc.). RSLs don't really work for most of my audience because > because many of them have older computers and it can take 10-20 seconds+ to > download. > I was thinking, with the great advancement/feature of being able to cache > Adobe frameworks into the Flash Player, how about the idea of creating a base > "wrapper" or "preloader" application that was just a > spark.components.Application, which is 300kb+, and somehow standardizing > that. > My thinking is that, if Adobe sponsors such a thing, and many people use it, > we have a much higher chance of that being cached in the browser from someone > else so we can use it. And it's small enough so the browser cache wouldn't > mind that much. > Even better, what if you could cache a swf like that in the Flash Player! > Then all of our apps would effectively start out out 40kb (a module's size?). > Loading all the RSLs can be up to 2mb! With this, it'd be a lot smaller, and > very practical. > Love to know your thoughts, > Lance -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
