Video tutorial: 3 ways to make your Flex application smaller

Posted by on Nov 16, 2008 in How-to, Video, Video Tutorial | 8 comments

As you may remember, the European team members of the platform evangelism team recorded a bunch of videos for Adobe TV a while back. Today, my first video got published and gives you 3 easy tips on how to make your Flex application smaller. Seeing this video brings back the memory of how hot that “hotel room studio” was. :D

Watch it on Adobe TV and subscribe to the Adobe Developer Connection channel.

    Great post! :)

    Is there a way to start preloading the module once the main application has finished loading?

    Now it’s finally clear how to do this stuff. It’s so much easier with an example than having to read endless articles that make it sound complicated. Thanks.
