ActionScript 2.0 :: CPU Intensive Loop "abort The Script..." - Prevent The Pop Up?
Dec 21, 2004
I have a very CPU intensive loop that lasts for about 30 secs sometimes more.
The loop is very well controlled and ALWAYS terminates correctly after the solution is found. It cannot hang.
The problem is that the very annoying dialog "do you want to abort the script" pops up in the middle of the loop. It really screws up the the interface as the users thinks the machine has hung. Is there any way to prevent the pop up?

I have a method, which connects to a HTTP server and requests via XMLRPC, a list of data structures and then for each data structure gets a list of attributes and the values of those attributes. It's implemented using nested for each loops.
The problem is that it's loading a lot of data all at once, and consuming a massive amount of CPU (over 100%) reading responses from the server and parsing the XML.
If I were writing the program in C, I'd insert a usleep() at the end of the loop, to wait before trying to load more data and reduce CPU usage. What would the equivalent be in Flex?

I was wondering if someone knows how to do what is asked in the title. I have tried setting selectedIndex to the tab I really want them to stay on and that tabs contents aredisplayed, the problem is that the actual tab shown as selected is the one I clicked, NOT the one whose details are actually being shown! It appears that the default behavior is to highlight what was clicked, not what is selected.
I've two tabs- the first one contains a datagrid with users details...so when I double click on a record, it takes me to the second tab which contains a form to change the details of the selected user. Now, the problem is if I navigate away from the second tab back to the first tab without saving the details, i want the application to show me an alert warning me to save the data...and keeps me in the same tab...

Is it possible to abort a flex remoteObject call? I tried the below method but the http request is still loading in the background:[code]The thing I'm interested in is freeing up the browsers HTTP Pipeline, just like in javascript where you can use abort on the XHR.

I have a main menu of buttons which alpha is set to 0 when you go to another page. I've made the button-menu fade in again when you return to the page. When you click on a button I want the buttons to disappear again, and I dont want the fade in to continue. This is my code:
function fadeIn(mc):void {
var nNum:Number = 0;
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(50,21);

I'm working with dynamic streaming transitions and I would know how to stop a manual switch transition. Ocasionally I want to let the user change the quality of the streaming while another request its working. The actual result is that the requests succeded in cascade, and it would be nice to be able of stoping or canceling an actual change.

I am using RemoteObjects to call ZendAMF PHP from Flex/Flash Builder 4.6. I want to stop or abort a method call before it sends the request to the server based on an event or similar.
I have a class where I create and store all the RemoteObjects - for example:
activityLogService = new RemoteObject("zend");
activityLogService.endpoint=endpointServer;
activityLogService.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT,faultHandler);
Then later I can simply call this object:
remotingService.activityLogService .getRecords();
I am trying to find a way in my remotingService object to stop the request - and not send anything to the server - for example if some variables are not set properly.
I noticed there is an invoke event: activityLogService.addEventListener(InvokeEvent.INVOKE,invokeHandler);
However, I can not tell if that's going to stop things at the proper point, or if it's even possible to actually STOP the request - if so, how?

I've made a flash file which contains the following:backgroundMC (consist of vector art made in illustrator and imported)holderMC (loads an external swf which contains my game)I want the background to scale when the Stage get resized so I used the following code as everyone else does:
ActionScript Code:
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "LT";[code]....
Then if I resize my window the backgroundMC doesn't, because the listener isn't active anymore... Is there a way to resolve this? .I want my Stage to resize the backgroundMC, but without causing my game.swf (which is dynamicly loaded) to run slow...

Lately I have been trying to animate the water surface giving it more natural look by use of Perlin noise. But it seems it is very CPU intensive operation. And if I use it along with other animations on the stage which involve lot of movements then it become really difficult for the machine to render the entire scene.

Ran into a weird Flex bug (i guess)... I am uploading using URurlLoader.load(urlRequest)... on cancel button click, urlLoader.close() is called.. but this doesnt abort the upload the file shows up on the server. Is this a Flex bug or am I missing something? Can anybody confirm if they have been able to abort an upload / load with the urlLoader.close() method call?

i have a swf with several processor intensive subroutines within a main init() routine at start up (about a 5 secs startup wait). it needs a preloader not due to asset loads but to the processor intensive routines.i'm trying to create a preloader that will display progress as the routines complete but when i try to write text to text field as each subroutine completes either the textField.text is not updated or the text field display is not updated after each subroutine finishes.this prevents me from tracking the progress of the start up.
is there a way to force an update to the display list in the middle of a processor intensive routine? i believe flash is supposed to update after each frame but i'm not seeing this.also, the text field i'm displaying *before* this processor intensive routine *does* display when running locally but *does not* display before the routine when running online.not sure why.

I'm not certain that there's a set answer to that question, so let me give you a more specific example: In my current code, I can solve a problem one of two easy ways: either by using three algebraic functions (one square root and two squares) or by using three trigonometric functions (one atan2, one cos, and one sin). And then I potentially repeat the code for several hundred iterations.
I'm curious if one set of functions is any more efficient than the other, if they're fairly similar, or if there may be a set of higher-order functions I'm missing that can do these kinds of computations much more easily.(For some more specifics, if you're interested: given a line between any two points, I want to find a new point along that line that's a set distance from one of the other two points.)

So I'm building a music site for a client, he's got a record theme so I thought it would be cool to build the site to look like a big turn table with all the content on the record.the record is designed to spin (not as disorienting as you'd think, just the grooves spin)...but the record image, which I did in Photoshop, is huge.
It was just slowing things down to a near crawl in browser. So I split the record image into four pieces and then mirrored them to get the full piece of the pie. It worked, but it's still running slightly slow. I do have a couple of blending options set to act as lights over the record...I tried deleting them to see if it would run faster, it's still jumpy. When the record is not moving(there's a button to turn it off) everything runs smoothly. The entire move is about 300k in file size and the record is being animated via actionscript.How do some of these bigger sites get these HUGE animations to run in the background so smoothly?

What options are available for recording a graphics intensive SWF as a video format such as MOV, MPEG, or others. I have created an interactive SWF and would like to capture video of it so that I can share it in different formats. I have used some free screen capture software before, but am not sure it is the best choice since maintaining the frame rate is important. Worst case scenario, I could just eliminate user interaction and automate the input...

I have bought a chat package, and over 9 months i am running into the problem hat it is gooing slow with more users online. So i decided to install the "flash debug player 10" and check what exacly is happening. Within 2 minutes the flashlog.txt (error log of debug player) was 195KB I will now paste the error messages that are dumped into flashlog.txt tha occur the most and i think it seems as if the error message comes from a loop, because there are so many of these warnings:

I'm about to have to write a web page/app that will serve the agenda for circa 100 people on a page. One line per person, one column per day with 3 clickable zones in each cell. In HTML, the page is way complex for the browser to load quick and there is no possibility to click on a border between 2 cells to for example split an event that spreads among several cells. So I search an not too overkilling technology to render this kind of view. I begun with a PHP generated HTML page but the number of elements in the page make the mouse move jerky.
Moving to JAVA would give me better performances regarding the reuse of the generator of the view but it will still be an HTML page. So, here is my question: do you think that going forward with JAVA and its graphical capability is the simple solution or is Flash a better option for this part of a Web App? I'm afraid of the code I'll have to write in JAVA to handle the GUI presentation as well as the events generated by the 1000's cells plus borders of the page. In Flash, the graphical part seems simpler even if the actions handling is still huge.

My group is working on a Flex/AS3 scientific web application that is data intensive. Luckily the only plots involved are line charts. However, each line chart may have multiple traces (up to 24), and each trace may contain up to 2000 points. The user will need to zoom in and out and interact with the data (e.g. data tips, etc.).
The response I'm getting from developers is that's a lot of data to render in a plot in Flash. For reasons beyond the scope of this post, we can't sample the data to reduce the size (this has already been done and nature of the data prevents further sampling).
Rendering speed is critical for this app. What kind of rendering speed should I expect the Flex 4 line chart component to provide for a given number of points (e.g. 1 second to render 1000 points?)
Are there products available that handle plotting large data sets better, which can be incorporated in Flex (I've seen FusionCharts and ZingCharts online but have no idea how they compare with Flex's components)? Of those, which are easy to develop with while still providing a lot of flexibility in look and feel?

I am attempting to use a loop to create text field with the loop's current value. The code looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i = 1; i<=10; i++) {
var 'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt':TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.x = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.y = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.text = "Hello World"
}
So essentially what it should do is create 10 text fields at 40, 40 with the text: "Hello World".

I have need of loops / nested loops that pick different figures depending on where you are in the loop. The whole function needs to run through 'ml' times. 'ml' is a dynamic figure. Loop 1 = While the loop is within the first 12 iterations, 'exconemp' must equal 100. For iterations 13 - 24, 'exconemp' must equal 102.5, for 25 - 36 it will be 105.06, for 37 - 48 it will be 107.69. This needs to change every 12th iteration until it has reached 'ml'. The calculation takes the value of the previous 'exconemp' and then multiplies that by 0.025.
Loop 2 = While the loop is within the first 120 iterations, 'abc' must equal 0.015 and any further iterations must use 0.01. This must also work in a way to figure out whether 'ml' is higher or lower than 120 and work accordingly. My main issue is this - how do I get the loops to run through as this: While the iteration is < 12, do this, THEN take the final figure (12th iteration) and start on 13 - 24, do this THEN etc etc. How do I produce a THEN statement? I can get the code to pick up the final values, but not change along the way.
