Hi All, Just want to bring forth an issue to the notice of the Flex community at large what I have noticed.
In simple terms why Flex Framework is not introduced as a plugin/addon to the browser to be used along with flash player to run a flex application? The minimum size of SWF file created when a simple flex application is built is 273KB. (One can consider the flex application file just contains only an mx:application tag) Here each flex based SWF is packaged together with the Flex framework and other inherent/dependent frameworks by Adobe like for Charts. As a result it was a redundant piece of data we transfer across the Web each time our Flex application is accessed by a user on a session basis. In simple terms, packaging the Flex framework together with our application code in an SWF is creating initial load time of our Flex application each time. This is creating redundancy in bandwidth usage. I logged a bug for the same with Adobe bug and issue management. Finally when it comes to business terms 'Performance matters'. We are midway in our development using Flex to cater to the Enterprise range of products our Company does business, it was decided to switch over to Silverlight by Microsoft. I am not convinced with the decision by our Top Management but finally has to vote for Performance. Microsoft I feel, cannot deliver cutting edge technology like Google or Adobe because it contains/grows closed box innovators. Guess the issue must have been thought out earlier by Adobe but has sidelined it as not feasible.
