SWF, JPG, PNG, GIF are already an efficient delivery format. Often, encoding of efficient things leads to inefficiencies.
AMF is for plain data. It can be more efficient than representing the object in XML. Putting optional code in Modules and only loading them when needed is your best bet.

My application, as it stands now, doesnt use AMF. But me thinking of integrating Blazeds and use amf channels if, if and only if, its going to give me any added advantage in loading time while loading assets (images and xmls in my case). I will be spiking this with sample apps but before that,is it really worth the effort.? /Shyam --- In [email protected]<mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com>, Alex Harui <aha...@...> wrote: > > Why do you need to use AMF to load the module?
