"head-in-the-sand comment got me fired up " As did the statement that bad memory issues in AIR were down to bad coding.
Ok we probably are comming at this from a different scale, the number of modules on our app runs in to the hundreds not 30 so we probably have quite a different perspective, but like Jack I have been coding for over 30 years, the last 10 in actionscript, I do nothing other than pure AS coding (I logged 140hrs in pure flex development last week alone and we have 7 other developers as well) and I know for a fact that even with the best coding you still have memory/cpu issues with AIR/flex that simply can't be avoided. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Gregor Kiddie" <gkid...@...> wrote: > > Sorry Jack, I didn't mean it to come across as accusing you of either > writing bad code, or not doing due diligence.
