Very detailed in what you said and made it easy. Great stuff! Keep it up! Hey Lee, Great tutorial – I think you could have spoken a little faster though.

It's about time for this one. Thanks Lee~ Actually I've been trying to learn Flex from one of the training vids out in the market. And God! THEY SOUND BORING! Nothing beats the way to you teach people. :) Haven’t been around to check out gotoandlearn.com. It’s about time for this one.

I also tested it using the external rsl, and it does not work without the bin-debug wrappers Removing the flex framework libs (external rsl) reduces the file size to 120kb Removing the RPC framework lib bought the file size down to 73kb around quarter the size of just the bin-release and a lot closer to what flash produces . JohnO - try it yourself and you will see the huge difference in file size, and while I can still use deep-linking library to get browser history I will not be able to test my movie if I remove the the bin-debug when external rsl is set. ;) I agree a bin release should always be done however, the complied BIN-RELEASE version of this simple example is 299 kb just 32 lines of code!

I think most people know about this feature of FlexBuilder, but I'm not sure everyone is aware of just how important it is. The SWF that is generated when you run or debug your project contains a lot of extra byte code used for debugging and profiling your content. This extra byte code has a very obvious effect on the size of your SWF (adding over 35% in some cases). It also has a less immediately obvious (but no less significant) effect on the performance of your application. In one example here at gskinner.com, a 980kb SWF was reduced to 675kb, and some performance intensive code ran over 2.5x faster in the release build than in the debug version. Never deploy a project without exporting a release build, and be sure to test a release build if you are experiencing problems with file size, performance, or memory utilization." AnotherFlava –

Now in Flex 4, the Flex webtier compiler (which allows you to compile on the fly static or dynamically generated MXML) now has functional History Management and automatic deep linking on Navigator components like the Accordion and TabNavigator. As you click across tabs, the URL parameters automatically change so that you can send someone a link that will open to a specific tab view. The mxmlc compiler is distinct from the webtier compiler, and behavior varied widely in SDK 3 and earlier, but are now more closely aligned. Note that the HTML Wrapper code does not work in the latest Opera 9.5 and behaves oddly in Google Chrome. However, in MSIE 6, 7, 8 and Firefox 2, 3, and 3.1 beta the HTML Wrapper code and SWFObject detection behave properly for Flex 4 apps.
