Actually, I have to take it back. This answer doesnt quite get to the issue, and I realize I probably didnt fully make the question clear.The alternatives are not two flex apps or one. The choices are1. one flex app or 2. one flex app and a flash website. The issue is that I am not very good wit

Thanks Ted.But one problem. I dont have *anything* embedded in my app at this point. As I said my app is 477k. Is there anything else that could explain it? Could I really have enough code (written in a week) to explain the size? What is a more "normal" small flex app size? Regards,HankOn 7/3/06

Hank, First off the size of your app seems rather large. Here are a few things to check... 1. @Embed with Images - Embedding images directly adds to file size. Optimize images before embedding them. 2. Font usage - Fonts embed all glyths into the SWF resulting in a larger files in jumps of 30K

Hank, One thing you have to keep in mind is that Flex 2.0 is tailored to web *applications* instead of to web sites. When a user starts up a typical application, a 8-10 second delay prior to the application to start up is not an unusually long delay for startup. Most Flex apps that I've seen to d
