ExpediteConnection()

Description

The ExpediteConnection method starts the network connection setup process for the Flash Lite application. This method is provided by the Device object.

Setting up a network connection can take a mobile device anywhere from one to four seconds. If the setup process is started only when the connection is needed, the user may have to wait up to four seconds for the application to respond. To minimize the delay and provide fast response times with network content, use the ExpediteConnection method to start the setup process in advance. When the application later needs a network connection, it can use the active connection that has already been set up by the ExpediteConnection call.

You can call the ExpediteConnection method at any stage in your Flash Lite application.

Example code
