1) yes 2) yes
3) yes 4) That will work, but you might want to share a module of shared classes as in the "shared code" example on my blog. Any time you add stuff to the main app to share between modules, you are increasing the initial application startup time which might be undesirable of no module will use that code at startup. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shaun Sent: Monday, April 09, 2007 11:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Optimal Linking Thanks for the response Alex. I look forward to seeing what the FB3 team cooks up! Was also wondering if you could confirm something for me. Would you say the following is accurate: If I have a site that will contain at least 2 apps, and at least one app will contain modules, that to optimally configure the site I would need to: 1) Create an RSL containing classes that are used by the majority of apps/mods. 2) Utilize runtime css to share assets - images/fonts/etc. 3) Utilize link report and load externs to keep modules from linking redundant classes 4) Manually add links to apps if multiple modules use classes that aren't located in the RSL Thanks for the help. I'm trying to wrap my head around all of the linking options and I want to make sure I'm headed down the right path.
