> Iain Even without having looked at the details of aflax, I'm pretty sure that it inserts the Flash application by checking browser versions and either adding an object or embed-node into the page's DOM. This is also how the most common Flash embedding scripts, SWFObject and UFO, does it. This means that the Flash app is inserted on the page "on the fly", yes, but it is also the recommended way of doing it, and more or less the fastest way that's going to work. The Flash app is only inserted once, though, which is what I think you have misunderstood. Unless you do something very complex or weird there isn't going to be any latency to speak of. The ExternalInterface is quite quick, I doubt you will have any problems there. I have no idea of what you mean when you say "control elements in the flash clip via ajaxy calls to a server". It seems rather backwards to involve server calls in the controlling part. I can understand if you want to load data to display but don't involve it in the controlling... Use aflax. Since you ask, I assume you're not a Flash programmer, and rolling this by yourself when there's a perfectly good framework just sitting there is not something I would recommend. yours, T# --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MochiKit" group.
