You can try compressing the xml file first and decompressing it when loaded - I've used this to good effect and see something like a 10x reduction in the filesize - This blog covers the technique http://www.ghostwire.com/blog/archives/as3-saving-xml-as-binary/
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Flex Killer Sent: 09 December 2009 11:45 To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Best way to load XML file Dear All, I have a 2 MB XML file locally and if I try to import that file using <mx:XML id="testId" source="StudentData.xml"/> It is loading all the data at compile time ( In fact flex builder is throwing memory exception) I loaded the same file using HTTPService and It is taking significant amount of time to load the data in production environment . Could some body suggest a better way to load this? ( I don't have an option of loading this to database and reading it from there) Regards Kiran . ______________________________________________________________________ This communication is from Primal Pictures Ltd., a company registered in England and Wales with registration No. 02622298 and registered office: 4th Floor, Tennyson House, 159-165 Great Portland Street, London, W1W 5PA, UK.
