If you separate the creation of the tilelist from the dataProvider initialization things are more manageable but... what's expensive in my tests is the creation... not the initialization of data... So I still have to create the TileList container and the TileList itself with the application, if I create it later than I'm sure to get have movement freezing when transitions starts... For the data initialization part it really depends on two things here: - number of items in the list - how fast is the download of the contents (really fast download freezes movements, it seems like it compresses initialization of many itemrenderers in a small time) So solution for now is: - create the tilelist container and tilelist at startup... (even if it's almost empty this avoids the freezing later...) - use visible and includeInLayout properties to visualize it later - initialize the dataProvider after (no problem if not too much items...) If there are lots of items you need to be sure that no transition is going to happen... Only if you are sure about that, then obviously you can do creation, initialization or both because nothings going to be freezed... This is what I've gathered through my experiments but I can surely do things wrong and I'm surely not a guru anyone confirms this results thanks in advance Gio
