Re: [Flashcoders] Re: loadvars vs xml onData
I don't run them concurrently. They're entirely separate tests. Earlier
i tried concurrent tests where yes, flipping the order
(loadvars/xml-xml/loadvars) did make a difference.
The bottom line is, currently, for loading data such as raw text,
loadVars.onData is slightly faster than xml.onData. It doesn't bug me.
I'm just surprised there's a 5-10ms difference.

Why would that matter? I would assume that the loadvars and XML

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: loadvars vs xml onData
I saw you asking this question the other day on EFNet. Apologies if I
can't be of much help, but, intuitively the first explanation (and
only explanation) that I can think of is that you are incurring some
sort of overhead due to the higher size and complexity of the XML
class. How this could possibly translate to a difference of 5-10ms...
I don't know.
Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to run several tests with different
sized text files and try to narrow or widen the deviance?
Either way, it's nice to know this.

Hi, I actually don´t know, but probably make more sense if the onLoad method would be faster because it should be easier to parse the LoadVars source rather than the xml one.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: loadvars vs xml onData
Its called first and is faster because its invoked as soon as you have data, and before you actually parse or process the data. onData is always gonna be called first. onLoad is called when the call has totally completed, there fore at the end of the process, whereas onData is at the beginning.

Hi Stacey, Check out the question: Anyone know why loadvars.onData gets results quicker than xml.onData He's comparing loadvars.onData with xml.onData - apples and apples, not loadvars.onData with xml.onLoad.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: loadvars vs xml onData
The tests i ran were something like this: create an xml object add a callback for its onData 30 times, get the same file from the server and get an average of the time between the load() call and the onData invocation. repeat for loadvars compare results. I've done tests against a server that might as well be called local, but on average loadvars gave me around 20 ms, while xml gave me between 25 and 30. I know loadvars extends object, wheras xml extends xmlNode which again extends object, so i don't know.. I always thought all classes that load content and have an onData event inherit the same functionality but override on the onLoad... - Andreas Mike wrote: That is really weird.
