Hi Javier:
With your suggestion, every new company onboarded will download the entire
sprite. Sure it's only one image but it's 1500+ x 200px square. Our current
architecture just downloads the single image that's new or changed at about 500
bytes.
Using a sprite is definitely an interesting
You're welcome, but... what's the exact problem with spriting in that
scenario? You could generate the sprite bitmap dynamically at any given
time (just paste every known logo one below another), even with bare PHP
(or needless to say with ImageMagic libraries), and then just poll for the
last
Hi Javier:
The thing is we have 52 investor groups in 26 countries on 3 continents and
they each have admins entering information that is then displayed in our app.
Part of that information are companies that are presenting at regular investor
meetings in these different countries. These
Volunteers are welcome to provide a patch that makes ContentCache serializable.
IIRC, lots of Flash classes are not serializable, but IExternalizable allows
you to define custom serialization.

Just my 2 cents: have you considered getting rid of everything and just use
one sprite image for all the logos?

You minimize connections to just 1 download, that if properly compressed
and if logos share a fair amount to colors, could get the
Thanks everyone for your ideas.
Alex, I already knew how to do the serialization by encoding/decoding, and I
may go down that path someday, but if FileStream would just serialize a
ContentCache (seems like a common want), it would have been a quick improvement
to app responsiveness.

Hi Erik,
I don't think you can have Flash serialize a Dictionary by passing a Dictionary
to FileStream.writeObject. However, you can certainly iterate the Dictionary
and save everything. And later, read it all back and repopulate the Dictionary.
Personally, when writing custom serialization,
Oops, I pressed send to early, more info this time :)
I think BitmapData may not be directly serializable to amf. It is in
display package, and although not directly a display object, it might be
subject to same rules.
Here's the type of thing someone did in the past to avoid that:
Not an answer to the main question, but a couple of thoughts...

Hi Alex:
The icons and logos are loaded from a server on startup, and then kept up to
date via a 20 second polling pattern where the app checks if anything has
changed on the server. We timestamp all images and when one does change we get
latest and update the image in the app.
The way a
Erik,
How do the icons and logos get into the cache in the first place? If they
don't change, is there any reason not to embed them in the application?

Hey all:
Have any of you come across an example of persisting a ContentCache to disk and
reading it back on app launch? We have lots of icons and logos for hundreds of
companies and they don't change between sessions.
Like this (doesn't work though). ImageCache is a subclass of ContentCache
