I'm not sure about the limitations yet. I wouldn't imagine the filesize would affect anything (xml parsing is fast and the filesize effects the swf size).
We are precompiling our SWF for deployment and the compile time isn't that long for our use. But you do have to recompile everytime you change the XML file. We made this decision because we didn't see a need to have a HTTP request for every XML file when we need it. If it were loaded when we load our ModelLocator we load the XML files and it seems rather fast right now. --- In [email protected], "barry.beattie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > any limitations in doing it this way? > > - file size? > - change the xml content and need to re-compile? > > I only ask because I've been using HTTPrequest and to be honest my use > might not need to ...
