With Macromedia Flex 1.5 you can build runtime shared libraries (RSLs) that
can be individually loaded, cached, and used by multiple applications. This
article demonstrates how easily you can integrate RSLs into your Flex
applications. It also addresses the performance tradeoffs that you must
consider when building dynamically linked applications.
The Basics
The best way for you to learn about RSLs is to build several copies of the
same application with and without various permutations of RSL settings.
Follow these steps:
1. Create Info.mxml, a small MXML component that displays its
initialization time:
var name:String = "?";
function go()
{
var start:Number = 0;
if (_global.startTime != u... (more)
