For the first time since I started playing with flex (a couple of weeks) I checked out the size of my app, which is currently 477k.
My app isnt that big, so I presume most of that is just the size of the framework. I am just wondering what do people think about that in terms of user start up time. For a user with a 500kbps connection that is about 8 seconds before the app is loaded. Are people doing loaders to get things started? is there an accepted strategy for how to deal with this? There was another thread recently about how people shouldnt use flex for websites and one person provided aesthetic reasons. In my mind, if there is a reason (and I am not arguing that there is) but if there is a reason not to use it for websites it would be the file size. 10 seconds seems like a long time to make someone wait before they see something. On the other hand perhaps I am underestimating the average connection speed. Anyway, like I said I would just like to get peoples thoughts on this issue.
