However, if you have hundreds of components, you still might wind up with a very big swf.  Deferred instantiation saves memory and improves startup performance but it can’t help with swf size.  You may need to look into dynamic control creation, or runtime loading.   Tracy   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Dave Carabetta Sent: Monday, November 06, 2006 5:30 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 2 Question   On 11/6/06, Eric Fleming <[EMAIL PROTECTED]com> wrote: > I am at the beginning stages of learning Flex 2 but I cannot find any > information about this online.
