How is that different than a Flex app? How does the size of a Flex swf compare to the initial download of an AJAX one? I thought this was one of the selling points of RIAs, either with Flex or AJAX was that after the initial download, you end up using less bandwidth. Download the application once, and then just pass data back and forth. I know that my Blockbuster on-line queue is unusable with 250 movies in it. But, I've built similar type functionality into Flex apps and it is pretty snappy. -- Jeffry Houser, Technical Entrepreneur, Software Developer, Author, Recording Engineer AIM: Reboog711 | Phone: 1-203-379-0773 -- My Company: <http://www.dot-com-it.com> My Podcast: <http://www.theflexshow.com> My Blog: <http://www.jeffryhouser.com>
