I was hoping the module would load like a Flex application where it loads slowly and doesn't freeze up the browser (click the url and edit).
I am using some of flexvizgraphlib so it going to be a challenge to try and speed their code up. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Alex Harui <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > If the cpu is bogged down by the creating of children, I don't think modules will help.
