- Working with the Flash Player cache
- Understanding RSL basics
- Using RSLs with Flex Builder
- Using RSLs with the Flex SDK
- Examining the RSL load order
First impressions mean a great deal. The first thing someone does when using an application is to download it—and if that process takes too long, it will detract from the user experience. To improve that experience, you need to learn strategies for reducing the download time and improving the startup time of your Flex applications.
This article shows you how to take advantage of the new Adobe Flash Player cache using Adobe Flex 3. I take a look at how to use this approach in both Flex Builder and the Flex SDK command-line tools.
Requirements
In order to make the most of this article, you need the following software and files:
Flex Builder 3
Flex 3 SDK
Flash Player
Prerequisite knowledge
This article assumes you have some prior experience creating Flex applications using either Flex Builder or the Flex SDK command-line tools.
