I have a situation where the whole application is made with a collection of Modules in one project, the Application itself is in another project and is simple a shell that loads and manages the modules that house the business logic of the app (the reason for this is I can change / re-purpose the application just by swapping out the modules).

However, even creating a link report from the Application and using load-externs in the Modules project, my swfs were still very bloated even after removing the framework to RSL's (500k +). I suspect this is because the Application is "thin" and hardly uses any components, whereas each module uses a lot of components and the optimization is top-down from the Application.

So I think I need to import and declare all components I'm using in the modules project into the Application, which is a pretty clunky way around it.<br/><br/>

i have read above discission and asume that now i need to implement the module in place of custom component.

is am right ?

i am developing a face book game that is big problem for slow loading and when application is running it very slow to navigate within the view states.

Can i make all my components to swf modules that load in different states?

Thanks .

i am waiting your reply.<br/><br/>
