Gugga Gone?

[Todd Baker]

Hi Everyone,

I realize the last post here is about 2 years old. But Gugga is such
a great framework I have to ask, what happened to it? Has it been
renamed? Moved to a different hosting platform (sourceforge, etc.)?

Anyway - thanks for your help.

Hi Todd,
GUGGAFF is currently under revision since we have moved to using Flex as
a platform. We are currently in the works of coming up with framework
for FLEX.
Hope this answers your question

Hi Todd,

You can also check the following article in Adobe DevNet:

We'll be glad if you find it interesting.

How are you mitigating the initial overhead the Flex framework itself requires? That up-front 200k or so really kills my PLT numbers.

Please take a look at the dev net Article that Branimir quoted
yesterday. There is a way to inject flash module in the first frame of
the app and this way create an experience where you control when and how
to load the Flex framework.

I've seen that -- but the extra bloat of the framework still affects my PLT measurements, even if it's preloaded. What's the combined weight of Flex/Gugga?

[Svetoslav Sotirov]

you can look at it in a couple of ways .
1. If you have flex framework preloaded (framework caching for example
or some other mechahism) there is no overhead at all or at least no more
then you would in flash since only your custom classes will be loaded
2. You can compile your application to use only the components and the
parts of the framework that your app uses this will minimise your load
significantly
3. In our case explained in the article we needed the entire framework
because there are a lot of modules that are loaded later and new modules
being developed and we do not wanted them to include any framework
information
So you have plenty of choices
