Ted talks of a ‘Player Cache’ existing within Flash Player 9.3 that allows the Flex components to be reused across domains.
It would be an extra-benefit if my components can be reused across my multiple websites.
- Is this Flex only? (all code passed thru the Flex 3 compiler ‘mxmlc’)
- Will Flash AS2 components be cached as well?
- Will Flash AS 3 components be cached as well? (compiling via the Flash IDE)
- Can my own components be cached? (or is the Adobe-propitiatory only?)
‘Only Adobe can create signed Runtime Shared Libraries, and only signed RSLs can be stored in the Flash Player cache. If you create an RSL that contains a custom library, it will be unsigned. You cannot sign it.’ My only addition to that would be, ‘…yet.’
Knowing Adobe, if you ask loudly enough, the company finds a way.
