Hi Jesse, I notice you've started adding the time to your posts - I think Steven has spoken to you about the peculiarity that you're posts always come through as new poster so we have to always accept your posts - it wouldn't matter if you weren't so prolific a poster ;) And, unconnected, we're also looking for more moderators for flexcoders, people that review the first post of all new posters and accept/reject (to get rid of the spam). There's just me, Steven and Jimmy (from Optimal Payments) just now, and we're trying to spread the load a bit more, and to get more cover in all the time zones. So, how about we combine the two - you become a moderator, and until Yahoo fixes their problem, you can accept your posts immediately and accept other posts as and when they come in? Thoughts?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: application flow, logic question . . .
We're currently using tomcat and flex and we haven't had any problems. Tomcat is a free J2EE server which makes it nice on the pocket book. It's also very easy to setup and learn if you don't have much experience with J2EE servers. I would highly recommend it as an alternative to JRun.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: application flow, logic question . . .
Well pros for Jrun: - License comes with CF Enterprise (ie you may not have to buy another license) - It's cheap if you buy it separately - Easy to install on various platforms - Will work great for CF and Flex - Easy to use web based management interface If you're operating is a really high volume site then in your evaluation performance and clustering are a big factor. For the non high volume site I would rank ease of management/deployment the priority.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: application flow, logic question . . .
Chris, I'd also recommend that you do a search in the docs for creationPolicy and read about deferred instantiation. Try and forget everything you know about splitting a flash movie up into separate movies and loading them on demand, and relinquish that responsibility to Flex. With clever use of creationPolicy, you can allow Flex to defer the loading of your application with an appropriate policy. Don't get me wrong, you may find there's a need ultimately to start using Loader controls to create and destroy your own views; but I'd always recommend that you try and avoid this strategy until evident performance demands it.

Welcome to the world of Flex. In Flex the loadMovie functionality is basically encapsulated within the mx:Loader component.
