Question

How should I load a client-side document into text layout?

Hi,

I'm new to Flex and of course to TLF. I have been testing and find out that big documents (one megabyte) take too much time to load. I don't know if it is because we are working with a beta version of the product or I'm doing something wrong. Does anybody have been testing this framework with big documents? Anyone can point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance

Guillermo

I'm kind of surprised your document is so huge.  My Alice in Wonderland testfile is around 157K - 1MB is 60 of those.  Is there something blowing up the size of the document?  Are you setting every attribute on very element?

Huge documents are not a priority use case for TLF.  I don't expect any improvements for this use case in the first release.  IMHO it will never work as one piece of markup - there are timeouts and memory limitations.  You'll have to work out a divide and conquer strategy.

The pagination example posted here is one such divide and conquer implementation.  Check it out here:
