In my Flex app I give the user the ability to open up a new item form ( s:Panel ) and create multiple items on the page.
Sometimes for some odd reason bringing up the panel (simple task) seems to take a really long time to load (like 30 seconds or so) However, the weird thing is that if right after I click to open I navigate away from the Tab and back again to the Flex app tab it shows up right away.
I’m not sure if this has to do with refresh rate or some setting or is it general performance/memory issue with my app that I have to consider. When the application work it works fairly fast which is making me think it’s not memory/performance issue.
It’s hard to be sure without more details, but are you following the component life cycle? Just to be sure we’re talking about the same thing, here’s a nice presentation about it: http://www.slideshare.net/rjowen/adobe-flex-component-lifecycle-presentation
