Hello all,

I'm interested to know whether flex files are rendered (or is it better to say
compiled?) each time the web page they are in is requested. In a sense, do they
serve another rendering process, similar to the process of code in an apsx file?

Or perhaps (as I am crossing my fingers for) the flex SWF file is compiled
only once, and loaded when requested.

If the first option is the scenario, is there any way to avoid it? I
understood that flash does not behave that way? How much time will the process
of flex order take?

Thanks in advance,

Dror

Once a SWF file is compiled that's it. Then, it is simply downloaded on the client when requested in a binary format.
