# pages in a deck

[Nokia_Archive]

Hi,

Is there a practical limit to the number of pages in a deck?
Any nice rules-of-thumb perhaps?

Hi Colm,

The number of cards you can place within a deck is bounded only by the amount of memory in the Wap device and the bytecode size restrictions that the Wap gateway/ Wap phone (I'm unsure which) imposes upon the transmission of those decks to the device.

Currently the Nokia 7110 has a 40k memory cache (see http://wap.com.ph/nokiafaq). The maximum allowed size for a WMLDeck is set at 1.4k for the Nokia7110.

A rule of thumb? View the size of the compiled wmlc file. If it's greater than 1.4 bytes, you're out of luck. More like an absolute rule rather than a rule of thumb, wouldn't you say?

regards,
Mario
