Re: [flexcoders] JUST SAY NO to creationPolicy="all" !

[John Kirby]

Title: quote

Greg - I was thinking more "in depth" discussion along this like there is in the Java community.  But I know Flex is young... I'd just like to see more detail on the hows and whys?  Also it would be nice if  the ActionScript  profiler (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/profiler.html) could also profile your "non-ActionScript" code such as the creationPolicy impacts.  I don't believe the profiler mentioned here does this? (please correct if I'm wrong?). I've been working with Java since day one.  I was blown away when it came out.  I get the same feeling about Flex... hopefully it will follow a similar path to make the same impact on web development? .j I believe what John is referring to is: BOOK:  Building and Deploying Flex 2 Applications CHAPTER 6: Improving Startup Performance http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/00001424.html This chapter includes sections on: About startup order Using deferred creation Creating deferred components This chapter should be required reading before setting creationPolicy="All"  :-) Regrettably setting creationPolicy="All" is the switch that turns off deferred creation.  The only time this makes sense is for small, odd out applications in Flex. For anything more involved, I found that as I started to use Cairngorm, the temptation to use creationPolicy="All" went away altogether :-) hth, g -- Whether you think that you can, or that you can't, you are usually right.  - Henry Ford __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Software development tool Software development Software development services Home design software Software development company Your email settings: Individual Email|Traditional Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!
