Maybe. It depends on what you are including.

The preloader loads RSLs in the order specified by the -runtime-shared-library-path options. There is no special treatment of custom RSLs. RSLs with digests and those without digests (specified via -runtime-shared-libraries) cannot be intermingled. RSLs without digests are always loaded after the RSLs with digests. The -runtime-shared-libraries option is maintained for backwards compatibility. Here are more details on my comment posted on 03/13/2009.

That way these classes (and all their dependencies) are included in the first frame of the application. But this increases size of the preloader significantly and actually defeats it’s purpose, so I don’t think that solution is appropriate. This solution is described in detail by James Ward in his blog.

But I am not able to generate swc file with a single component. I get the following error say in case of a Button: Error: could not find source for class mx.controls:Button. Are you able to generate swc ? Is it really fixed ? I looked at the bug and it is closed. But I am not able to generate swc file with a single component.

Are you able to generate swc ? Is it really fixed ?

That's a good point. And a great reason to get bug #19735 fixed. :) I assume that you would also have to move the RSL / Library up in the Library Path in order to get it to load before the Framework RSLs. Or does the Flex Preloader always load custom RSLs before the Framework RSLs? -James Thanks Darrell. That’s a good point. And a great reason to get bug #19735 fixed. :)

Use compc to compile Button into a SWC. 2. Make an RSL from the SWC. 3. Load the monkey patched RSL before the Flex RSL. This doesn't solve the "only add the Button class without its dependencies" problem but it will make frame 1 smaller. You can load your monkey patched class before the Flex RSL without bloating frame 1.

1. Use compc to compile Button into a SWC.
2. Make an RSL from the SWC.
3. Load the monkey patched RSL before the Flex RSL.

This doesn’t solve the “only add the Button class without its dependencies” problem but it will make frame 1 smaller.
