Re: [flexcoders] nested layout containers - file size or other concerns
Hi, File size is based on linked classes. So the answer is no on nested containers affecting SWF size. of course if it is an mxml file size, the more text the larger the file. ;-) The more containers you have the slower your app will be to resize. Although, Container is a very fast component and with invalidation, takes advantage of the Flash Player 9' awesome performance. If you fin your self using a lot of nested containers, think about how you could make a custom component that would cut them in half.

Re: [flexcoders] nested layout containers - file size or other concerns
I have to make one amendment to what I said; There would be a slight increase in the SWF size because of how the compiler creates component descriptors. But, the SWF will not keep linking in the classes. Peace, Mike On 6/6/07, Michael Schmalle [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, File size is based on linked classes.

RE: [flexcoders] nested layout containers - file size or other concerns
Nesting containers unnecessarily will affect the startup time and runtime performance of your application. Measurement and layout is one of the most expensive parts of a Flex app. Though Flash Player 9/Flex 2 is much faster, its still a good idea to prune your application of unnecessary container nesting.
