That's not true, if you are talking about the signed Flex framework RSLs.

I think RSLs are the key to keeping file side down on your Flex apps.
The Flex framework is about 1.5 megs worth of code, and it only gets
bigger if youre doing charting, rpc, etc. A Flex app gets a tough hit
dragging all this supporting code into the app.
That said though, if you reference these

It's all Flash, why is there any notion of Flash vs. Flex. It's like
saying 'Should we use PHP or Zend?'. Rather it should be 'Do we need
Flex in our Flash app?' Unless you

Flex is more interactive? This must be a misunderstanding. Flex is
really more about enterprise development process, less about

500k Flex widget is 20k in Flash probably.

Later builds of FP9 and FP10 support crossdomain caching. The framework is
specially signed and loaded into a special cache and used for all domains.
Normally RSLs are per-domain.
Flex is a framework. Most frameworks focus on making development easier by
letting the developer set a flag and
Thanks Alex, the following makes much sense!:

Any ideas on the version of the rsl? Ie if i am using v xxx.2 and
Crossdomain RSLs are per public release. There is a separate RSL for 3.0, 3.1
and 3.2 and will be for any other release we publish. Your code will be
specifically looking for the version it was built against and if it isn't
there, the RSL will be downloaded.

Ok, just to make it 100% clear if 3.2 is cached and mine is 3.0 you say that
3.0 will be downloaded even 3.2 is there?

Yes, that is correct. You are tied to the bits you built against. New
versions do not supercede as it could result in various errors or visual
differences

If you go for size, i'd use Flash. There is nothing wrong with it, as
you are not developing a enterprise application with a big team.

To be honest with a widget that simple, if you're worried about size just

I wouldn't call this 'simple' but I do think your doubts are well
founded. Looking at this example, I don't see any real use of Flex.
You have what looks like some animated state changes and a few
navigation components - skipping Flex in this case might be easier.

Does anyone know where I can find some good examples of flex apps

I would rather try to re-write the app in AS3 to see if it makes the
file size manageable, rather than abandon flex completely.
What I meant is that you don't seem to be using any Flex functionality
beside ArrayCollection, and you'd do fine using Array or Vector.

Under the covers, MXML is converted to actionscript. The only way to get
smaller is to start removing features from the framework. If you need
collections or HTTPService or styles or resources or any of that infrastructure
someday you'll end up with a sizable app even if you do it in AS. So,
And rather than using Label, just use a TextField (or possibly FTE).
To make a non-Flex project in Flex Builder, just choose File New
ActionScript Project. As your first step, in the constructor try code like this:
var textField:TextField = new TextField();
textField.text = Hello;
