OMG, I sure you're criteria is more than that. The Yahoo! Maps have an insanely awesome API that developers have put in there such as creating your own markers, overlays, and widgets as well as other crazy cool methods & GIS stuff.
The minimum size of a Flex 1.5 Flash Player 7 SWF is 126kb; but that doesn't have any controls other than the base application classes. The Flex 1.5 framework is just that, a framework; it's not just a bunch of controls and widgets, but has support for creating applications within it, although, for larger applications, you're better off utizling an appcliation framework atop that such as ARP or Cairngorm. The YahooMap.swc itself is 339kb which is compiled into the file Flash or Flex SWF. If you are looking for less filesize, Flash may be the way to go since you can choose what controls you use or not... or even the *gasp* AJAX/JavaScript inclusion so you are just using the 339kb map itself. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Mauvière" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Flashcoders mailing list" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2005 1:42 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] What is the minimum size (in kb) for a flexapplication I tried to evaluate code size in kb in both Google maps and Yahoo maps : Google maps : 170 kb (js file) Yahoo maps : 370 kb (mxml...swf files) I understand that Flex UI components are included in those 370 kb, but the difference is quite amazing. What is the minimum incompressible size for a Flex application (if this makes sense) ?
