[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 doescome 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. Im about ready to bail on the beta, its 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 New Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.

Alistair, Yes I have also tried this. I can't get one document to save, not one. It's very odd. I'm at my wits end.Another gentlemen suggested that there is documentation w the download. While I have the download, I haven't looked there yet to see what's available. That's a good idea!

Rama, There is virtually no documentaion as part of the flex2 Beta download. There are samples, sure, but not documentation. None. There are "documentation" links embedded within the readme.htmlthat point back to various macromedia sites but they don't work.

Alistair, Might there be a place (perhaps an ftp site or something)where all the current zipped flex2 beta3 docs might exist that can simply be downloaded.

RE: [flexcoders] flex2 Beta3 - slow to non existent document delivery
Alistair,I've tried this "docs" link numerous times today. The zip file will simply not download and it acts much like the general documentation links, I've discussed today.My zip download rate eventually fades to 300 bytes a second. Is there any way of placing this document bundle on a faster more broadly accessible server so thatwe can get at them, rather than on download.macromedia.com? (I tried pinging this DN, it timesout, that's how slow it is?)I did find some of the documentation embedded within Flex Builder help as suggested by one poster. Other documentation on Adobe's SDK and FDS doesn't appear there. The subsequent "Online Flex Resource" header within Flex Builder has a number of Macromedia "org.eclispe.ui.intro" links that are unfortunatelybroken.Thanks, PBp b [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:This is exactly what I was looking for but could not find.
