Do you've already checked your MySQL queries and do you've checked how long MySQL needs to deliver the requested data? Maybe the database is your bottle neck. Assuming that all actors are perfectly optimized regarding performance, the next question could be if it really makes sense to load this amount of data to your app with just one request. Regarding dependencies: Please remember that ZendAMF is part of ZendFramework1 and it's not supported anymore. This is not a problem if it still works with PHP7 and if you are able to adjust it to make it compatible with future versions if it doesn't work anymore some day. Just keep it in mind! If I remember it correctly you're using the FlashBuilder data-centric development (I never used it). This could be also a problem if FlashBuilder doesn't work anymore some day for whatever reason. FlashBuilder is also not supported anymore. What I'd like to say is that there's no need to make your app dependent from those things. "The whole world" is going with JSON these days... I assume it would work also for you ;-) If you'd like to share your DB stuff to discuss some details.... just do it. HTH, Olaf -- Sent from: http://apache-flex-users.2333346.n4.nabble.com/
