Re: [Laszlo-dev] Is there any evidence that we need to manage the maximum number of connections in SWF anymore?

Hi Henry, For all my LZX projects, including Cooqy, I always set LzLoadQueue.maxOpen = 10; as the first line in my canvas.oninit() method...it makes that much of a difference in media loading performance, I always hardcode this setting, overriding the default value of 2. I saw the warnings in the source code you refer to, but they didn't prove to be accurate...my programs have run without issues using a higher setting.  I remember during my testing that extremely high settings like 50 did cause problems, though, as I seem to recall. But a value of 10 has worked well for me in all my LZX applications, especially for Cooqy which loads lots of eBay images.

The reasoning that was explained to me back in the Flash 5 days was that more than two open connections would cause load requests to silently fail in Internet Explorer. I recall trying to verify this in Flash 6, and wasn't convinced it was still an issue. I'm looking at this code now because  there's a bug which has been reported (LPP-4115) which is causing the lzLoadQueue to believe that it has run out of connections.  It seems stupid to restrict our requests to two at a time if it's not necessary, so I'm going to try some experiments to figure out if this throttling is needed at all anymore. I haven't seen any documentation that says that requests will be lost if multiple outstanding requests are issued in SWF. -- Henry Minsky Software Architect [EMAIL PROTECTED]
