Awesome, good to hear that's what you wanted. Naw, I didn't say that; no clue what they are, nor care. I'm just one dude in a specific market; to some people, filesize is extremely important. To me, means squat. 90% of my clients want desktop apps, while the rest deploy on broadband Intranet/Internet sites.
As for your questions, naw bro, I usually use the Flex framework, so not sure about embedding assets into ActionScript only projects, nor using SharedLibraries without Flex' cool way of handling it. Someone else, will though I bet. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Stiller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Flashcoders mailing list'" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2005 12:19 PM Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Macromedia unveiling Flex2andFlash9 :communicationor cacophony ? Jesse, thanks! Ted's article nails exactly what I'm looking for. This statement here -- > "The SWF contains just only what you import and can be devoid of the Flex Framework," suggests to me I can avoid that 240KB initial hit right off the bat. I realize that figure may drop with optimization, but I believe you said earlier that even Flex 1.5 SWFs (presumably optimized) start out at over 100KB. I'm interested in leveraging the speed increases of AS3 and the new virtual machine -- at least, gearing that way -- but I presently have little interest in the UI Component (and other) benefits of the Flex framework. If my career veers in that direction, Flex is the obvious choice. Meanwhile, I'm delving into the mechanics of incorporating good, old fashioned, heavily tweened movie clips into Flex-built, 8.5-Player SWFs via the ASProject component of Flex Builder 2. Any pointers? Do I need to produce Components of all my artwork (hope not!) ... can I use a runtime shared Library?
