There is a swfdump in the Flex SDK (bin/swfdump). We just want to see the
first set of tags in the SWF, which includes uncompressed SWF size to see if it
correlates. Just running "swfdump <filename>" should dump those tags.

I downloaded swfdump from swfTools.org. What switch(es) would be
appropriate for the dump?

Subject: Re: On Disk vs Uncompressed size of modules...
Paul,
IMO, that would be a surprising level of compression. I suppose it is
possible, especially if there is a lot of repeating text content as assets,
maybe by linking in every locale known to Flex.
Run swfdump on the SWF. Post a link to the results.
Then run the performance profiler in Flash Builder or Scout. That's really
the only way to get hard data on what is taking so long.

I have some fairly large modules, for example one which has a swf file that
is 120KB on disk a little over 2,000 lines of mxml & as code combined). When
run in the IDE it reports "2,674,599 bytes after decompression." While I am not
particularly concerned about the size per se, it does take between 3 & 5
seconds to display the module and start the "Init" (CreationComplete) code.
Trace output tells the tale;
Starting addModuleThu Feb 7 22:43:21 GMT-0500 2019
[SWF] I:\MyProject\src\bin\MyModule.swf - 2,674,599 bytes after
decompression
Starting ModuleLoadDoneThu Feb 7 22:43:21 GMT-0500 2019
Starting Init Thu Feb 7 22:43:26 GMT-0500 2019
From the time the Module is loaded until the Init fires is about 5 seconds.
ModuleLoadDone is fired when the ModuleEvent.READY is dispatched. "Starting
Init" is the first line in the function called by "CreationComplete" on the
module.
What could be causing the delay?
What can I do to improve things?
Is it the expansion of the module?
Setting up all the objects?
Can I display the panel sooner while it is catching up in the background?
This is running on an I7 with a fair amount of memory, and it behaves the
same in production as the IDE, time wise.
