I've been searching and searching, but haven't been able to find the answer, so I'm posting here as a last resort.
I am working on a Flex application that must read in a fairly large XML file (1.5 to 3 megs depending).....If I were to base my application off of the flexstore example, I'd just open up the XML file and try to read in everything. This works fine for 500- 1000 "records", but, unfortunately, has some pretty nasty effects when dealing with about 12000 thumbnails. When it comes to reading XML I'm not sure of e4x, object, or XML is the most efficent result set. Regardless...is there a way to open the XML file, but not read from it until a user enters a search and then only return nodes from the XML which match the search? Basically, I want to use the XML file as sort of a virtual database. The reason I have to go this route is that the application will be delivered via CD and is meant to run as a desktop application.
