200k File Size Limit
The 200k file size limit pretty much rules out a Flex app, right?
File Size Limit
Hey Mike, hopefully you get notices about comments on your blogs, because I hope you see this. enefekt already mentioned this, but this 200kb file size limit is absolutely ridiculous. Their SWC alone that you have to embed is 114kb.
My first test case was an insanely simple VBox containing a Label that displayed my username as a result of doing a user look up via user ID. This SWF alone is 211kb and I haven't even done anything!
The only reason I'm posting this is because I'm having a very difficult time finding any contact reference relating to the contest. I guess I'm wondering if you know who we could contact, or if you know anything more about this file size limit.
Thanks.
