Hi PB,
Have you tried to save the pdf to your local file system,
rather than downloading and reading it over the internet every
time?
Regards,
Alistair

Subject: [flexcoders] flex2 Beta3 - slow to non existent document delivery
I'm trying to get up to
speed and participate in the Flex2 Beta3 programme, but 'm having a difficult
time doing so. Please forgive me if I'm bothering the group, but this is
incredibly frustrating. I'm wondering if the folks at Adobe/Macromedia are up to
speed on this document delivery issue?
Whenever I try to access
any of the Flex2 beta documentation I run into problems. Say for example I'd
like to peruse the "flex2_gettingstarted_pdf" docs. I click on the appropriate
link from within the release notes section at the "labs" site and it takes
forever to load. When the document finally does come back I get a few
pages, that's it. When I try to scroll to a new page it takes literally 3
minutes to perform a page down if it occurs at all. Often the “document” just
hangs. If I try to print the
document, the process also hangs, w/o fail. I've tried printing perhaps 10 times
over the last week at various times to no avail. The LiveDocs are no better.
Thus the whole learning exercise becomes moot.
While I have a 3mb
broadband connection, I'm in the East near Toronto , and I fear, I'm
doomed since I'm not at all proximal to "your" pops on the West coast. I’m about
ready to bail on the beta, it’s just too time consuming to tough it
out.
Any insight would be
appreciated.
(As an aside I can access
literally thousands of pages of documentation at the Oracle site in a flash,
(pardon aside). Their document delivery system works. If you Adobe folks wanna
get the word out about your flex software, this has certainly got to improve
quickly, IMHO.
Thanks for your
time.
PB
