Hi,

I'm using your module on a the homepage of my site.  And I'm finding that this module causes the whole page to load very slowly.  After some testing it appears that the module is rather large and/or the cacheing seems to be affecting the page load.

Is there an option to turn off the cacheing option, as I believe it's adversly affecting the page load.   I'd rather just use my custom cache provider.

I've tried to use Ultra Flash Player, which is similiar to what your doing here, and it has significantly smaller foot print. 

However, I do like your presentation better.  Was hoping if it was in the roadmap for future updates to have an option to enable/disable the module cache or to optimize it further?  Or do you have any recommendations. 

Thanks,

Jerry

Hi Jerry,

We use swfobject to display the flash module.  There is a problem with swfobject and IE7 that can cause caching problems, so we are forced to reload the swf on each page load.  We will switch to SWFFix (the successor to SWFObject) which is soon to be released, however maybe we should look at the release canidates sooner than later.

Second we will be re-engineering the flash portion of digRotate for 4.0 which should cut the size in half.  We unfortuantely don't have a date for 4.0, we have a few more flash modules we will be releasing before then.

In the meantime I will investigate SWFFix so that at least the browser can cache the digrotate.swf file.

Thanks,

Mike
