1. Delegate security to the server side on a domain/subdomain basis. 2. Enable high and low ports access. 3. Prevent Flash Player from being used as denial of service toolset. Crossdomain.xml has really improved things, it was a great addition to the player at the release of Flash Player 7. I

Al, This actually looks to be more related to media imports. The 8458ms time next to files should stick out. That looks like media processing to me. In Flex 1.5, this aspect of compilation is the most resource intensive. Are you: 1. Embeding Fonts 2. Embedding Images, GIF, JPEG, PNG, SWF 3.

Chris, AS3 supports method closure. This assures that every method and function is always executed in the scope where it was defined. Here is a simple example: function doIt(){ trace(this) } a = new Object() a.b = doIt a.b() //doIt is executed in the scope where it was defined not within ‘a’

I do not think using fastmxmlc would have any affect but it sounds like useProxy=true plus the proxy is not running or useProxy=false plus a domain based security error. As Dave recommended, I would use Charles to look at the network traffic to see what is coming and going if

Renaun, We use ANT on developer machines and on the server for deployment. Typically a single build.xml file sits in the root of the SVN repository for a project. We typically define tasks for incremental SWF and RSL compilation, java compilation, and larger tasks for ground up builds. The

The real key to ANT is leveraging the depends property. target name=flex.build depends=rsl.build / In this case calling ANT flex.build, will first run rsl.build just before running flex.build. depends allows you to create a very large build from very small encapsulated tasks. It is the lever

Actually you can now compile Python into .NET CLR via IronPython. Python runs almost 3 times faster under .Net and can optionally be statically compiled to run much faster. I know several devs are working hard to port Twisted over to IronPython including support for network events via

Last I heard the Flash player was single threaded. If that's still true, the question of synchronization is moot. Multiple threads have been in the player for some time now. There are multiple threads in the flash player as follows: Single Thread of Execution – AS Execution DisplayList

Currently network operations run in separate threads that AS Execution and DisplayList Rendering. Only when data has been loaded, do these events cascade into the ASExecution. Networking threads include all calls to: LoadVars, XML, LoadMovie, LoadVariables, URLStream, Socket, XMLSocket,
