I'm hoping that somebody else other than me has noticed this, and that perhaps somebody else out there would know why adobe made this change, so here goes...
I've found that the cs4 as3 compiler is doing little or no optimization when ity comes to compiling a swf when a code library swc is sitting in my fla library. Let's take the google maps as3 code library swc as an example. In cs3 i'd place the swc into my library, and import one class and instantiate it. Publish the swf and the end result is a swf that weighs very little. Examining the swf with hp's swfscan shows that only the class and dependants are compiled in. Repeating the same process with cs4 results in a swf weighing over 50k. It appears that every class definition from the swc gets compiled in. Even removing all import statements makes no difference, so long as the swc is in the library, all the classes go into your swf! Anybody out there aware of this? Is there a way to prevent this behaviour? Was this intended by adobe, or is this an oversight? Any comments/pointers appreciated! _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
