on the subject of Xpath with large files, i've been impressed with the
speed of XMLUtilities for large XML files. granted it really is just a
wrapper for the built in XML functions, but i found it very fast and
light. and really i hardly use a fraction of what Xpath is capable of
anyway.
sorry
I've done in the past something as Rakos says and i think it could be
a good choice. If you really have to go for the xml, i'd say:
- wherever possible, try to use attributes instead of nodes to avoid
unnecessary nesting.
- wherever possible, split the xml files so you can read exactly what

I agree with what's been said, and would add that if you cannot use
Flash 9 AS3 for your XML, then be wary of the third party XML parsers
when dealing with XML files of this size. I had been in love with
xfactorstudio's Xpath classes (which are mostly great by the way), until
I had to read in a
We do the same thing.
Once you get the hang of the XML classes it is not too bad and you can
really tune your access.
If you are doing your own tree climbing it gets easier to deal with a
multi-file XML structure that can help reduce the amount of XML that you
have to parse in any given
Hi all,
I have a project that I have spec'ed for developing in Flash MX 04 (or Flash
8) along with Director MX 04. The project has a large amount of data that
will be read into the program. I'm trying to determine whether there are any
practical limitations to using XML with Flash. The data lends
My suggestion would be to create the file with dummy data, and run
some processing tests on it on machines of various speeds.
My guess is that you'll find it to be pretty slow unless your
processing code is very clever. I have a project with a 250KB
external XML file as content and certain
I would not worry about this.
You are on the right track and in the worst case you can break the XML
file into a set of xml files referenced by the top level which then acts
as a Table of Contents.
It is hard to build an XML file that is as big as an sound file. 5000
