That's great Dimitrios, thanks. One question, are you using that
command
file in the flex 2 command line compiler or in ant?

Although I have never gone that far... yet :)

One thing I did notice which you can change is that you said the
entire flex
framework gets included in the cairngorm.swc ... doesn't
have to be. I build
the carngorm.swc using the command-line compiler
and made sure to exclude the
framework.swc, this did reduce the size
and is basically what I think you
want to do. Don't remember the exact
switch, will have to get that to you
tomorrow once I'm back in the office.

a large, modular
Flex application based on the Cairngorm framework. One issue
that we
are trying to get our heads around is creating the application in
a
modular fashion (ie seperate SWFs for application modules). Each
module
will only get loaded as needed by the main shell application in
order to keep
the overall size and memory use as small as possible.

models, value objects etc (especially bindable

need from the main application without having
the actual application
implemented version of those classes get
compiled into the module swfs and
causing problems when they get
loaded into the main application. Our current
thinking is that in
order to allow the modules to have full access to the
models, value
objects, etc that have been defined in the main application we
create
Abstract versions of those classes and put them in a seperate
flex
library project which will get compiled as an SWC and get
included
into the seperate modules as a runtime shared library (RSL),
basically
an library of Abstract classes only (and maybe some Interfaces).
The
module projects will also include the Cairngorm.swc as an RSL in
order
to have access to the interfaces etc that are defined there
and
provide the neccessary hooks into the main application.

The main application will have all of it's models, value objects etc
extend
the abstract classes that are defined in the Abstract RSL
library. The main
application will also use the cairngorm.swc as an
RSL to ensure that the
module swfs load properly when called upon (ie
they won't throw a run time
shared library error because they can't
find the cairngorm.swc). This
results in a download hit because the
entire flex framework gets downloaded
in the cairngorm.swc but we do
not see any way around that.
