I don't think this is a good time to try to shim/polyfill/fake that stuff or add code paths to deal with missing stuff, but I won't object if someone is itching to do it. -Alex On 10/10/13 11:43 AM, "Tianzhen Lin" <tang...@usa.net> wrote: >I venture to guess Flash Player may dominate nearly 90% of the FP's? >On the other hand, I wonder if it is feasible to write a pre-FP 10.2 >implementation of describeTypeJSON to help make up the functionality. >If so, we can still extend our support. > >Tangent > >-----Original Message----- >From: Maurice Amsellem [mailto:maurice.amsel...@systar.com] >Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2013 2:37 PM >To: dev@flex.apache.org >Subject: RE: describeType still used in many places in SDK > >(EDITED: added new lines): > >I just did some benchmarks on UI and non UI classes (run several times >each test, the results are consistent) : > > >[trace] [Chrono: [class Button] descripeType x1000] duration= 11.123 s > >[trace] [Chrono: [class Label] descripeType x1000] duration= 12.064 s > >[trace] [Chrono: [class EntityMosaic] descripeType x1000] duration= >1.776 s > >[trace] [Chrono: [class ApplicationViewBase_P] descripeType x1000] >duration= >13.977 s > >_________ > >[trace] [Chrono: [class Button] descripeTypeJSON x1000] duration= 3.449 >s > >[trace] [Chrono: [class Label] descripeTypeJSON x1000] duration= 3.686 >s > >[trace] [Chrono: [class EntityMosaic] descripeTypeJSON x1000] duration= >0.486 s > >[trace] [Chrono: [class ApplicationViewBase_P] descripeTypeJSON x1000] >duration= 4.033 s > >So descripeTypeJSON is roughly 3.5 time faster. > >I think the optimization is worth it, especially on UI classes >reflection. >WDYT? > >Maurice > >-----Message d'origine----- >De : Alex Harui [mailto:aha...@adobe.com] Envoyé : jeudi 10 octobre >2013 >19:49 À : dev@flex.apache.org Objet : Re: describeType still used in >many places in SDK > >I wouldn't bother. > >On 10/10/13 10:44 AM, "Maurice Amsellem" <maurice.amsel...@systar.com> >wrote: > >>That may sound like a dumb question, but since Apache Flex only >>supports FP 10.2 and beyond, do we even need to make the check for 10.1 ? >> >>Maurice >> >>-----Message d'origine----- >>De : Michael A.
