FireFly: Invasion of the Body Snatcher

Downloaded and installed FireFly components on my machine, looks interesting except that I have major problems with my copy of Flash. Launching it means a 5 minute plus wait while it consumes 97% of CPU. Once it's running it's fine. I've got no particular need for it right now so I tried an uninstall which fixed the problem immediately.

$10 bucks (about 20 Aussie) says that it's the bloody Reference Panel documentation.

Peter Hall had a mention on Flashcoders about if you leave like your closing P tags out or some junk, it slows the XML parser used to make the refrence panel. If Firefly has tons of documentation, I bet that's the problem. Don't know the fix off-hand, and am about to pass out, but I'll see if I can find the post in da morn.

Jesse, interesting idea, I do have the Resource Panel always open (but collapsed) just in case, and there's a lotta stuff put in there by FireFly.

You can screw Flash MX if you put in rogue data in there. Just get drunk, and start messing with CustomActions, and you'll see what I mean. Anytime you re-install Flash MX, make sure when installing components, install them one at a time, and see how Flash responds. You'll usually spot the culprit easier that way. Worked for me.

Think Jesse is gonna win his bet.

The problem is CyberSage created the docs using FlashDoc. Take a look and you'll see 68 XML files that start with Fx. These are the FireFly docs. There's only supposed to be 2--one for reference and one for api/hints/etc.

FlashDoc doesn't aggregate the classes into one reference, it creates one reference per class.
