ActionScript 3.0 :: 15 Seconds Delay When Push Or Pull Data From The Database?
Dec 4, 2009
my normal work day involves screen sharing with a programmer while we engineer the software.We are currently working on a site that involves flash .as3(created with flash CS3) talking with an .asmx web service (created in Visual Web Developer 2005) that talks to a sql (2008)database.When can push or pull data from the database successfully, but we are experiencing a 15 second delay if more than one request from the database is made at the same time. i.e. two customers login at the same time, or one customer logs in and another submits changes to their account.
The second request will not be instant until 15 seconds have elapsed In other words, if someone sends logs in and another person logs in 10 seconds later, the wait will be 5 seconds.Of course, the delay is cumulative...so if 3 people log in simultaneously, there is a 30 second wait. Gross.This only occurs when we are trying to access the database...flash and the web service seem to talk great together otherwise.
I have made this little thing, its more or less just to try out some basic scripting, its a button that you would push and when you do so it would play a random sound out of six different sounds, and it does all that, but it delays the sound, so it has a short delay, does anyone know how to fix this? Here is a link to the page where the button is (test page).[URL]...
Let me see if I can explain this clearly. What I am trying to do is pull information from a seperate file into Flash to be used as variables. I have read several places that Flash cannot pull info from Excel, so that is problem number 1: How can I store the information in a spreadsheet-like file so that Flash can access it. Then I would like the program to use combo boxes to access that information. Say I am going to draw a shape, the first box would choose the shape (ie Square, Circle, Rectangle, ect); this would then determine what would be in the next box.
So if my squares could only be red, purple, or green and my circles could only be blue, pink, or orange and my rectangles could only be black, white, or yellow. If I choose rectangle in the first box, I need the second box to list the three colors available for that shape.
I have a site with an SWF that I can put some metrics into, such as ZIP Code, Weight, etc.. then, it takes that info and gives me shipping rates.
I need to build a front-end site that I can have a forms page that will push data to the backend SWF, and then return the data back from the SWF to the front end.
Flash 8, I have some XML creating a few simple arrays. These pull some movie clips onto the stage with incremented names: product1, product2 and so on. Inside these clips I have some code that is supposed to pull data from the arrays and put that data into text fields.
[Code]...
Shouldn't this last output be the number 1? I want to use this number to call the correct node for each clip,
I am wondering if when the user clicks, is there any way to delay this action from occurring for a few seconds? For example, if the user clicks, this action won't happen for 2 seconds. Is there any code I can add before or around it to make this happen?
i have a very simple animation in flash CS4. My image travels from point X to point Y over 90 frames.I would like the image to stop at frame 45 for a few seconds, before continuing.
I'm using tweenMax and I want a tween to start after the mouse has been hovering over the button for about 2 seconds.
Now, I have figured out the 'delay' function but that is not that useful because it just registers the fact that the mouse is over the button and starts the tween 2 seconds later, regardless of where the mouse is on the screen.I basically want the button to become active after the mouse has been over it for 2 seconds.
I have 40 frames on a timeline, each frame has an tweening script below: import fl.transitions.*; import fl.transitions.easing.*; TransitionManager.start(week_2,{type:Fade, direction:Transition.IN, duration: 12, easing:Strong.easeOut}) And on the main timeline for the functions and buttons play/pause/next/previous is working good except, I want to delay every frame for like 10 seconds.
I've a site where consumer can take a live meeting with the beauty consultant. The problem I'm facing is during the video chat. Basically there is a delay of 5 seconds between Video and Audio when I access the site from out of my network but when I access it within my network (VPN) then it's work fine.
I've build a simple video chat application. The problem is that there is a delay of seconds between video display i.e. user1 video motion change displayed bit late at the user2 window. I'm using FMS 3.5 and FLEX.. IS THIS PROBLEM RELATED TO THE BANDWIDTH. My FMS bandwidth is 256kbps.
I just need a simple way for flash to delay the execution of a group of actions for a few seconds.
Here is the code I need delayed:
_root.randomnumber=(random(20)) if (_root.randomnumber<=8){_root.commentbox="Hit!"} if (_root.randomnumber<=8){_root.enemyhp-=15, nextFrame() } else {_root.commentbox="Miss!" }
How can I make an image appear (a button) after a delay of say 15 seconds?
I need the image to display after 15 seconds, and then stay. I have read to use gettimer or setInterval, but I'm not sure how to do it in my particular case. In very rough terms, I need something like this:
onEnterFrame: setInterval to 15000 and then _root.button.gotoAndPlay(2); (this will display my image) clearInterval
I'm building a continous move in flash, and I'm displaying some text and images and want to hold the timeline for about 20 seconds and then resume play again. I'm trying to write a simple timer in AS to keep from having to create 10000 frame long movie clips. Here's what I have so far:
stop(); this.onEnterFrame { time = getTimer(); if (time == 20) { play(); }}
Unfortunately, this isn't working for me, and 'm unsure why. I suspect two things, A: my "time" var takes only a snapshot value of the timer and not a continuous value, so the timer never reaches the value of 20. Or, B: I have somesort of syntax wrong and the if never gets a chance to load.
Basically I want to recreate a sound installation that I made a couple of months ago which used Logic Express and a Tape Delay effect to take ambient sound captured by a mic, delay its output by 3 seconds, and then play it into the headphones. All without recording anything and in realtime.I've basically got this far, which lets me hear the mic input through my headphones loud and clear. Now all I want to do is apply a 3 second delay to the input before it outputs. Do I have to send the audio to a buffer where it can be constantly stored and rewritten?
Code: //Create a new Microphone var mic:Microphone = Microphone.getMicrophone();
I'm experiencing an annoying issue with a movie clip button. The movie clip is linked to a class which adds a rollover and rollout effect. The issue I'm having is that, even though the button is in frame 1, the button doesn't react to the mouse for some seconds into the movie. The only thing I can think is that it's the class itself, but I'm not certain. Here's the class:-
i have a slideshow with a delay of for example 3 seconds, and a preloader which is a line with a 100px final length.i start preloading next image.now if the time until next image loads is longer than slideshow delay, i will show next image as soon as it loads.if the time until next image loads is shorter that than slideshow delay, i want to wait additional time until delay and then show the image.the problem is how do i represent smooth line width grow (being enter frame or tween) by calculating/comparing 2 values together (delay and loader percent, which goes from 0 - 100) ?if my line growth represent just a slideshow delay, then when it gets to an end, if next image still hasnt loaded, then it wont look good if line has come to an end, but i still have to wait.
I know how to pull data from a row of an mysql db. But how do I pull the data on the same COLUMN in a MYSQL db? What do I need to send to the server side script?
E.g. The mysql holds 2 field names "COMPANY" and "CONTACT PERSON". How do I pull all the COMPANY names only?
I am currently designing a set of actionscript charts for my company's website. For the set of charts I have set up right now I'm reading all the data from FlashVars, but as you could guess that's not a very good format for charts...
I'd prefer to use a JSON array of values,
now my question is: Where should I go to start learning about reading from JSON is AS2? I'll hit the books, of course, but this forum is always good when I need to get some advice to dive right in to an urgent project
I am trying add data to an array, but using myArray.push() isn't working the way I want it to. I am using a datagrid so the array has to be in the format var tabledata:Array = [{'Column Name':'Something', 'Another Column':'More data'}]; but then adding to it using tabledata.push([{'Column Name':'Something', 'Another Column':'More data'}]); Doesn't seem to be working - it adds a row but doesn't add any data to the cells. **Fixed it, just have to remove the square brackets in the push command tabledata.push({'Column Name':'Something', 'Another Column':'More data'});
This is my code to impot an image + some data from a db. I'm unable to pull the data or the image (nothing appears).[code]
1. What am I doing wrong here? or is the issue is elseware? (I'm PUBLISHING this to Flash Player 9 and AS2.0 2. How can I code this without using the XMLParser?
I am doing a project that consists of AS3 in flash an importing an external xml data that will populate dynamic data in text fields in my flash project. The xml is all ready set up (pre existing) data. The structure of the XML Code looks like this:
<GlobalDynamicData xmlns:xsi"[URL]"> <schema version 1.0.0>version 1</schemaversion> <DynamicDataFields> <DynamicDataField> <DataField> AlertOn</DataField> <DataValue>0</DataValue [Code] ..... which works fine,
My question to everyone is How do tell flash to pull specific dynamic data if all the datafields are exactly the same... I would think all data fields that are named have to be diffrent so when you script the code you are telling flash to go to that data source and pull from that record. If you have the same naming convention how does flash know which one to pull from if they all have the same name..
I'm trying to bring data from an sqlite database into a custom made menu. I have the menu working using an array with the code shown. But, now I would like the data to come from an sqlite database.
The code shown for the database, I have used for a previous job that pulled the data into a dataGrid. I now want that same data to put into my custom menu instead of a dataGrid. How would I change the second code to do this?
I think my main question is about the "watername_dg.addItem" in the second code below and how to change that to bring the data into my buttons.
ActionScript Code: //////////////PULLING DATA FROM AN ARRAY TO BUILD MENU////////////// var _menuArray:Array = new Array("Apples","Oranges","Pears","Grapes","Limes", "Carrots", "Peas", "Beans");
I am currently scripting a Flash application at work which will pull data from an xml file (.jpg's and text) into template swf's created by our designers, for use in online product commercials, realty/property tours, etc. I am creating a loop which will pull data from the xml and load them with createEmptyMovieClip(). Here's the code:
I am not the heaviest with actionscript and I can get the first two pictures to load, but after that the pics get loaded into the duplicated clip. I tried my hardest to get the else block to dynamically increment the "dynPicNew" ( ex. load it into "dynPicNew" + _root.g ), but I can't nail it! How can I get the duplicateMovieClip() to increment the load target dynamically?
