why swf is big ???

[fly]

hi
I think that Laszo is a great solution but I have a doubt about. I have just try "Laszlo in Ten Minutes" Hello world sample end .... the final swf file is 224.kb, why it's so big ? why laszlo makes file soo big ?

all the best

The base size is around 80k because a bunch of libraries have to be included by default. However, the reason you're probably seeing such a large sized Hello World app is because your browser doesn't support gzip encoding, so the app appears much larger than normal.

What browser/OS are you using?

thanks for your fast reply

I use win2000/IE 6. I have just saw all your Sample applications and they are all big.
is there the possibility to make swf more little into Laszlo setup ?
is there the possibility to inject only data into an empty swf like variables, array, namedArray dataset? because I think that 80 kb is still big.
how can I implement my browser with gzip encoding ?

thanks

That setup should not have any problems with gzip compression. Are you using some kind of proxy? Something like Proxomitron perhaps? If you go to:

http://www.laszlosystems.com/lps/examples/animation.lzx

... and look at the very bottom of the page, do you see:

a)Application Details: 164K (168,326 bytes); encoding: gzip
... or ...
b)Application Details: 475K (486,702 bytes); encoding:
The application size that is shown above is artificially high because your browser doesn't support the gzip encoding. Most browsers support the gzip encoding; the application that is served to them will be 40%-60% smaller. See the Deployer's Guide for more information.

If you see b) then your browser doesn't support gzip encoding. If you are using a proxy, you can go to:

Tools>Internet Options...>Advanced Tab

Then under HTTP 1.1 Settings, make sure that both checkboxes are checked.

There is no way to do this right now.

thanks !!!

I'm curious - did that fix the problem? Did you have a proxy running?
