[flexcoders] Re: Modules and RSLs Which is Better for Large Database application

Thanks Gregor Kiddie, RSLs are only really useful if you are making two or 3 different products and want to share the code between them. For a single product, they offer no discernable value. We actually removed RSLs from our product because they were impacting run-time performance.

[flexcoders] Re: Modules and RSLs Which is Better for Large Database application

Thanks Gregor Kiddie, Sounds like one of your DLLs is roughly equivalent to a module in terms of what you want to deliver. Just remember that each Flex module is based off a single mx::Module, so if you want to package up several forms in a single module, you'll need to load the module

[flexcoders] Re: Can Flex Access Database on different web server than application web server

thanks Tracy Spratt Flex does not access any database directly (except maybe SQLServer, via native http endpoints) You must use a server platform for database integration. .Net, php, ColdFusion, java, etc are popular server tier platforms. yes I am aware of that. We plan to use BlazeDS

[flexcoders] Re: Create mxml custom component in a actionscript event handler

Thanks Tracy Spratt, The compiler compiles the function regardless of whether it is ever called, If you reference a class that it cannot find it will error. No, if you are using normal classes, then you must have a reference to that class in order for it to be linked in at compile.
