I've briefly reviewed the Ariaware Optimizer product,
read Roger
Gonalez' "Multi-SWF apps" and "ApplicationDomain" blog
entries and
Ted Patrick's "Flex Shared Libraries" posts, which leads me to a
question.
Should I be concerned with manually breaking my Flex app into
smaller on-demand pieces or rest assured that the next Flex release
or a separate product will come along that will do this for me?
Ideally, all the portions of the app that aren't immediately
executed would be extracted into separate SWFs. Stub code that
would load the separate SWF on an on-demand basis would replace the
now-extracted content.
It would also be nice if the modules could be automatically
downloaded during idle time after app startup. They would then be
cached in the event the user was offline when they accessed a
previously-unused portion of the app.
Any insight/crystal ball gazing is most appreciated!
Thanks,
Tom
