I want to clear the Timeout set with the first function if this certain button is pressed. This is basically what I have so far, but it isn't working
ActionScript Code:
//set the Timeout
setTimeout(function ():Void {
//load movie

I have a movieClip that is basically a slide show.It is controlled by AS that is on its own timeline. It moves forward on its timeline, then a few frames later, I have it pause for 8 seconds with:
Actionscript Code:
stop();setTimeout (function() {play();}, 8000);
It then resumes playing and,a few more frames later,I have it jump to a different random slide. This all works fine. There are other frames on the MAIN timeline that do not contain this moveiClip. The problem is, if I go to one of those other frames in the main timeline, the above movieClip function is somehow still active, and after the 8 seconds it sends the play command. In this case, it causes the MAIN timeline to start playing.
I'm using Flash Builder 4 Beta 2. I have it connecting to a PHP service. The way I set this up was using the wizard, so I didn't actually write the code to connect to it.[code]...
One of the functions that I'm calling fetches users from a MySQL database. There are about 30,000 users right now. The service seems to timeout when fetching more than around 22,000 rows, I get the "Channel Disconnected before an acknowledgement was received" error. If I call the PHP script from a browser, it fetches them all with no problems at all, however. I have tried increasing the timeout in the PHP script (which didn't work), but obviously this isn't the problem since the browser is able to pull them up with no problems.
Can I clear a interval in a function from another function?[code]...
View 2 RepliesI set a function for
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
code;
}
but later I want this onEnterFrame to stop functioning to conserve on processor resources. setInterval isn't too good of an option from the way I have things set up, so right now I just set it to a new function with a trace action which overwrites the old one.Is there a command to simply just clear or break the function from executing?
i have been messing around with a script found for a simple paint program.

I'm working on a game whose background has many layers that each scroll at different speeds.
Inside each layer I have a Sprite, I've started using graphics.beginBitmapFill, but what I've found is that the graphics.clear() function doesn't actually clear the contents set by the previous call to graphics.begin.BitmapFill. Each frame, I adjust the matrix to shift the layer as needed. Then, I call graphics.clear() and graphics.beginBitmapFill() with the adjusted matrix. Since my layers have alphas in the bitmap, I can see the contents that was drawn the previous frame.

Using flex 3, how do i set a timeout for a NetConnection?

nc.connect(rtmpNow,fuid,gameName);
Try to set the timeout for my URLRequest via
Code:
var tempURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest (path);
tempURLRequest.idleTimeout = 2000;
But it doesn't work. Thus: How can I set/change/get the timeout for URLRequests? I need this since I start many parallel URLRequests and on slow connections I get an IOError URL not found error due to the long time they are on stack (I assume).
main problem lies within the 15 second timeout.trying to create a 10,000 x 10,000 2d array with just 0's are placeholders for data.i tried just going with a 2d loop of 0-9999. tried going with a 4d loop like this 0-999+(0-9*1000)
k and kk = 0-9
n and nn = 0-999
array_ar[n+(k*1000)][nn+(kk*1000)]=0;
both time out. i even tried seperating the 4d variety into 2 function passing it back and forth. is there a way to turn off the timeout? or a way to pause the looping every so often. I was thinking about creating the first function that does a 2d loop of 0-999 then at the end of it returns a value to another function that passes the 0-9*1000 part back to the first one? maybe this would create a pause reseting the timeout. but none of that would be needed if the timeout could be disabled.
I'm doing a kiosk project that has 11 scenes that house about 70 videos for playback. I need to include a timeout function that needs to revert back to screen #1 if there is no mouse activity for around 8 minutes. There is another timeout script in scene #2 that forwards ahead to scene #3 if no activity within 30 seconds. The timeouts do seem to work, they go to and stop where they're supposed to but then they seem to rerun themselves so that several are running at the same time. When I click into other scenes which
start the videos, then they will quit and jump back to screen #1 after 30 seconds or so.
I am looking for some code that will make my program restart if it remains idle for a certain amount of time. I have looked around a good bit and cant find one that works in ActionScript 3.0.
View 6 RepliesI'm running a recursive function which in the worst case senario is of factorial order. (i.e: runs itself n! times)As soon as n exceeds 7 in these worst case senario's the function times out (Error #1502). I want to handle this error event so that the user can be presented with an error that the problem is too complex.I don't want to extend the timeout period as 15 seconds is reasonable.

View 2 RepliesSo, I need to remove a div once the flash has finished playing. I am using this so far (the first function is to show the flash div on hover, the 2nd to remove it.):

It works fine the first time around. Though when I activate the flash again by hovering over the .showFlash element again - it doesn't work.
my flex application sends a few concurent requests on startup. Sometimes it takes a lot of time to fetch them all so I've set them requestTimeout param to 5 secs. Additionally, I've defined a method that handles fault events. I'd like to resend a request when timeout occurs.It doesn't work though. Could you take a look at the code?

I have a highly intensive benchmark/testing chore and I'm getting the 15-second timeout error despite my best efforts to keep my script running.Basically I'm making about 1.2 million remote procedure calls (RPCs) over a socket and want to check the results of these rpcs.Once the calls have all been sent, my flash movie moves to frame 7 which initializes a bunch of variables that I need for my RPC checking loop.Frame 8 does all the work. The first thing it does is stop the playhead for my main movie. Then it sets up a timer to wait for minute or two until any straggling RPC responses come in. [It's been my experience that these are likely to straggle in for several minutes when I'm really pushing the server hard.
If the timer gets too high, the checkResponse function returns and the playhead moves to frame 9 which checks to see if I've checked all the RPCs. If not, the playhead returns to from 8 which skips the timer this time and starts checking immediately.The output I'm getting ends up like this:
Code:
elapsed time:4985

By default settings, when given a bad URL is given (either 404, server not found, etc.), flash.display.Loader stops trying to load an image and contentLoaderInfo throws IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR after approx. 20 seconds. Is it possible to change the socket timeout or read timeout so that it throws an exception in, say, 5
seconds?
I have a problem with a script, that is debugged without mistakes, but is not executed anyway. The Script consists of the movie with a keyframethat creates a new Instance for an Object that again creates a series of new Instances for another Object (array) that controls an associated Movieclip.The Error: A Script was executed longer than the Standard-Time-Out of 15 Seconds.
View 11 RepliesFlash MX (not 2004), Actionscript is pre 2.0 I believe.I have a drop down menu.When I roll over the button, a movie plays (the menu).An invisible button sits around that menu and the button itself, and when rolled over, the movie collapses.My issue was that when I dragged the cursor quickly off of the button, the menu wouldn't close.I got a helpful response from kglad saying to bump my framerate up.I did, and the problem happened less, but was still present.I bumped it all the way up to 120fps and the problem is still present, but the occurance has decreased significantly.So then I got to thinking: Is there a way to have the movie (the drop down menu) timeout and collapse if the pointer isn't present?I've heard of movies timing out if there is no click, but I'm wondering if there's a way to do the same thing when there's no cursor.I guess I could also have the menu collapse if there's no click after a while, but that seems awkward.

View 2 RepliesI am currently checking if something is true or false at an external link. What I want to do is, integrate a "failsafe" function, so if the external link should be down I'll display something special. I'm not sure how to do this, but what I had in mind was to define x amount of seconds and if nothing has been received by that time, terminate the call to the link and do something else.
What I currently have is:
ActionScript Code:
var loadContainer:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
loadContainer.onData = function(resp:String){
if(resp.indexOf("true")!=-1){
//true
} else {
//false
}}
loadContainer.load("[URL]")
1) Is it possible (and how) to set some timeOut for disappearing of a submenu - I have built a menu with sub-menus. On roll over of the main menu, it is appear the submenu. When the mouse is over the submenu, it is OK - it is visible. I need to set some timeOut on it, so if the mouse is outside, submenu to wait (timeOut) before disappearing, if the mouse is not back again on it.
2) I had made a (flash) movie clip, and now I need to insert a preloader. For this purpose I have created another layer and (at the first frame) I set the preloader. Then I have shifted all other clip's layers one frame forward. So... The preloader runs well, and after it is finished, my (old) clip starts. Here is the problem - Now the clip's quality is very bad. More exactly it has rough edges.

I have some sections that look for a (delayedAction) button press of >1 second or else it goes to a warning keyframe on the timeline. Once at the warning frame it stays for a couple seconds (slideIntervalNum) and then continues playing to the next frame which contains a variable telling it return to the initial frame it was at.IF the user taps the button for <1 while at the warning frame they back up another section in the timeline. This is all what i planned for but.
button for less than 1 sec and quickly moves back towards the beginning of the animation / timeline at some point something happens that makes it so that it does not want to obey the stop(); command at all! It will keep playing forwards frame by frame when no action is taken. And even if a button press of >1 sec is executed to stop and go to the next frame it still wont obey the stop(); command!!!some of my code that i am using:
//AT STARTUP:
stop();
var timeOut:Number;

I have been getting the following error occasionally when running my flash file.Error #1502: A script has executed for longer than the default timeout period of 15 seconds.at Sr_fla::CenterTemperature_10/frame2()After the error occurs I can dismiss it and the error will not reoccur unless the flash file is closed and reopened - even though I am running the same code over and over.I have traced out all of my loops and feel confident there is not and infinite loop.I read a note on the forums that mentioned this error can occur when a large calculation takes place.I am doing some semi-complex calculations. Maybe that is the cause. Below I have posted some snippets of code from my work. Essentially I have a script which tests a variable (CenterTemperature) to make sure it is within certain bounds.Then a looping movieclip reads the variable and scales another movieclip accordingly.[code]
