 Anyone else have any thoughts on it?

[flexcoders] AIR Application optimizing...

2009-02-11 Thread nathanpdaniel
So I've been working with Alchemy for a while now, and I hear of the 
size optimization issues with using it.  
What is the reasoning behind optimizing a SWF size when building an AIR 
application?  I don't do anything to shrink the size of the output swf 
(or even try) since it is running on it's own on the user's system (vs. 
the browser over the internet).  I know it'd be better to optimize and 
get the file size down as small as possible but, what difference does 
it really make?  I totally see why you'd optimize a web based Flex app -
 that's obvious to me - but I don't really know what difference it 
would bring to cut out 200-300kb from an AIR application.  
Anyone else have any thoughts on it?
