R – Cache your own components using The Flash Player Cache

actionscriptcachingflash

Ted talks of a "Player Cache" existing within Flash Player 9.3 that allows the Flex components to be reused across domains.

It would be an extra-benefit if my components can be reused across my multiple websites.

  1. Is this Flex only? (all code passed thru the Flex 3 compiler "mxmlc")
  2. Will Flash AS2 components be cached as well?
  3. Will Flash AS 3 components be cached as well? (compiling via the Flash IDE)
  4. Can my own components be cached? (or is the Adobe-propitiatory only?)

Best Answer

For the player cache, only signed Adobe platform components, such as Flex, can be cached.
