4. Darron Schall said this better on the MTASC list, but it's mainly
because:
if(_global.myClass == undefined)
{
_global.myClass = {};
// initialize rest of class here
}
That if block is limited to 32k of data so if your class has more than that
much data, that's why it doesn't work.

Guys, don't get me wrong... Flex is a very
comprehensive library of components/effects and quite
new on the market...
Things that bothered me over time are:
1. lack of multilingual support out the box; although
you can find few implementations but I think flex as
UI framework should streamline this a little bit... .
Validator package is a perfect example... it doesn't
support binded error messages..
2. not having support for BigDecimals; Flex uses ECMA
standards and as Javascript doesn't know how to handle
number is double precision
3. AS2 is not an OO language, and I'm thinking at
method overloading..., etc;
4. 32k size limitation. Interfaces with lots of UI
elements& code can get out the blue this error.... The
solution is to refactor the code a little bit, but
there is no definitive reason why this is
happening....
5. scalability issues - times to time when the apps is
under heavy load the browser crashes without any
reason... Probably a memory leak. Unfortunately, there
is no error message logged... that I can find to trace
this error. If the application is open in the browser
and it isn't used for a good period of time it will
stop working.... in fact not sure if this is a bug or
just something that I haven't figured out yet....
I won't finish before mentioning some things that I do
like about Flex:
1. this user group that is very helpful and people
advices are very helpful...
2. Cairngorm framework is awesome, and we are eagerly
expecting the .99 version or 1.0 release....
3. As I already mentioned, a library of components
that are very helpful ( in fact this is what you paid
for... )
