ActionScript 3.0 :: Resource Thread Getting Started
Apr 27, 2007
While we have a dedicated AS3 forum, we know that a lot of Flex 2 users will cross back and forth across forums because while Flex's core scripting is MXML, it fully supports AS3 as well so it's confusing sometimes what forum to post in and who is best suited to offer help. A lot of topics have been covered in the last 6-8 months at a lot of the more well known guru sites and popular blogs and as we get going we will link up anything that might be of use to users in here.Url...

I've created an application that includes a number of Modules and uses Parsley framework. Ant is used to build the application.Recently I thought of using Resource Bundles and implemented it in the system by creating a locale/en_US folder under the src. I added a portal.properties file with all my strings defined.In my modules, I added the metadata
<fx:Metadata>
[ResourceBundle("portal")]
</fx:Metadata>
In the ant build file, I added the below lines within mxmlc.
<locale>@{locale}</locale>
<source-path path-element="${myapp.flex.app.locale}/{locale}"/>
<include-resource-bundles>portal</include-resource-bundles>
The build works fine and when I deploy the application and open it in my browser, I'm greeted with many errors thrown by the Flash player.But if I dismiss the messages, its working fine. My strings are replaced with the values in the property file, but how do I stop the runtime errors being thrown up?I get the below error.
Error: Unable to load resource module from portal at MethodInfo-637()at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()

In a flash movie, I'd like a user to be able to have a choice of buttons, each of which would add a movie clip. (E.g. If they click button "A" it will add a barking dog, if they click button "B" it will add a running cat, etc.)
I then want the user to be able to e-mail this movie with a PHP form (which I know how to do) but in the URL string, it will load the movie (dog/cat) that the user has selected. That way, when their friend receives the e-mail, it will take them to a page with the flash movie that shows the movieclip their friend chose.

I have a method that I want to be enqueued to the UI thread message pump. How is this done in actionscript? Basically I am looking for the equivalent of System.Windows.Deployment.Current.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke() in actionscript.

I understand the Flash and AS3 is single-threaded, at least at the user level. I would like to understand how asynchronous data loading is handled by the Flash player.
For instance, if I run CPU-intensive code that runs beyond the normal frame (lets say it runs on ENTER_FRAME, and consumes 1/4 per call). Does this leave any CPU cycles to load data from a URLLoader?
If http loading is truly synchronous, right down to handling the TCP/IP stack, one would get horrible performance. In Windows programming, I can do http access asynchronously (in which case the Windows libraries are doing either input on a separate thread, or doing hardware-level interrupts to handle the data -- I provide an asynchronous callback that may be on its own thread). Or, I can do synchronous download, in which case there will be hardware buffering, but my application is actively waiting for each buffer of data to be delivered by the hardware/OS combination.
URLLoader is asynchronous, but what does that mean? Does it mean that I can run the CPU and still download data? Or, will my download speed slow to a crawl if my Flash application is under heavy CPU load? Understanding how this works will help me design my product better, which both uses a lot of CPU, and downloads a lot of data (to the bandwidth limit of the network, if possible).

I know that the thread concept (as a class) does not exist in as3, but I don't understand very well the internal execution when I'm sending/receiving data via sockects.timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, endData);socket.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA, receiveData);(The former event detector is just for sending data every X ms. The second one is activated when I receive something from the socket.)Then, the question is: "sendData" is executing in a different thread that "receiveData"?

Whenever I debug my AIR app it keeps suspending at a certain line of code...it doesn't give me a reason why, it just says Main Thread (Suspended) No error, no breakpoint at this location either. If I comment out the code so that, that line does not execute, it just does the same thing on a different line of code.

As I know. Flex/AS is single threaded.I want to write an application that talking to server side, also display the data streamed from server.Since Flex is single threaded. I am not sure how could I do this.Better not involve something like "implement your own multi-thread model"

I am aware that Action Script does not provide multithreading so when writing flex application we are limited to work on one thread. which is ok for rendering my UI.
However some questions arise when preferring flex over silverlight:
As a UI layer single thread is good enough but is it fair to assume that for Aync httpservice like operations in flex , internally it would use some worker threads to manage the async operation and then come back to the main thread ? it looks like it does since my UI does not freeze.Can the flex/flash player deal with multiple httpservice calls in parallel ? ( e.g more than one section of the UI loading data at the same time.)How about the animation stuff ( e.g the parallel animation ) - does flash player internally leverages some threading for accelerating graphics or is it all done on the UI thread ?

So within my Flash document I have a rollover movieclip that contains a UI scrollbar. My question is, can I modify this rollover script to be active until it reachs a certain frame in the animation and then become inactive so that the scrollbar works? Or, is there some script that I can use to make the UI scrollbar active within the rollover clip?

I have a Delphi 6 Pro program with a TWebBrowser component that loads a web page that embeds a Cool Iris Wall. The Cool Iris wall is an SWF object which means that when running, the execution happens inside the Adobe Flash player, an ActiveX or similar object I believe. The problem I am having is that sometimes when the Wall is loading pictures/videos from the web, it takes a big hit on the CPU on the main UI thread. I know that TWebBrowser moves most of its operations on to a background thread to keep the main UI thread happy, but something the Adobe Flash Player is doing is happening on the main UI thread and its causing my program much grief. Is there a way to move the Adobe Flash Player on to a background thread?
[UPDATE - 12/7/2010] - After a marathon probing and debugging session it turns out that the problem had to do with the Cool Iris Wall's Flickr proxy. You can interface with the Wall in two main ways: 1) You pass them special Flickr api protocol URLs and let them talk to Flickr for you, for example [URL]..loads the Wall with the results of a Flickr keyword search for puppy. The advantage to this approach is that they do all the work for you necessary to make the query to Flickr and build the Wall's contents. 2) You build an RSS media feed yourself containing the photo stream item data and feed it to the Wall.
I was using technique #1. The problem is with #1 is that when their servers have trouble building the Flickr feed for you (for whatever unknown reason), their host SWF puts a heavy load on the CPU interfering with the main UI thread's operation. I converted my entire code base to work directly with the Flickr API and create the feed myself using the second technique and the problem vanished.

I am writing a simple Tcp server in Unity and have my Flash application connects to it.I found a great tutorial on threaded Tcp server online, and my flash app connects to it nicely. However, I am not able to send data outside of the listening thread to the connected client. I tried to create a global reference of the Tcpclient obtained inside of the thread. However, that reference (sclient) only works inside of the listening thread, printed Null to console outside of the thread. There must be something I can do to retain the TCP client reference for later use or access it from outside of block thread.

I may have a few other categories like this.Here is a link to something like what I would like to achieve: URL...I would just like to have something like the above link, of course without all the "About" Contact pages etc, just the center part of the page, with the sport and other links.My question is how do I go about making something like this in adobe flash?

I would like to learn a bit about using actionscript. I currently know zero about flash and such, so I kind of want to learn a bit so I am not so lost when it comes to this subject. Could someone post some really simple tutorials on how to get started. Something as simple as a Hello World would be fine. At this moment I don't even know the difference between Actionscript and flash.

I have a movie clip which is brought on to the stage by a tween function called introTween. After the introTween has finished, it has an eventhandler inside it which calls on 2 new tween functions to start. These are tweenX function which contains the myTweenX tween and tweenY function which contains the myTweenY tween. these functions loop round to keep the movie clip floating along the bottom of the stage. The movie clip can be dragged by the user. The problem I have is that when the user drags the movie clip during the introTween the dragIt function is called (see below) and when called its looking to stop the myTweenX and myTweenY tweens. However, because the introTween function hasn't finished, and thus hasn't called the tweenX and tweenY functions...then the dragIt function can't find myTweenX and myTweenY to stop(). how I would go about solving this problem? Is there some sort of IF condition I can put in the dragIt function which looks at whether the tweenX and tweenY functions have started or even the myTweenX and myTweenY tweens have started?

I am building a new website, which you can see at [URL] The first bit I want to add is an area where business owners can list their business' information, such as the address or contact information. They should also be able to login later to change the information. I assume this will need some sort of database, but don't know where to begin looking.
Second, I wish to add a map that highlights the locations of these businesses.

1) First of all i want to know how URL is working with flash, because every time i load new URL will flash website be reloaded? How to solve this problem, if it is problem?
2)I want to use "Swfobject" with my flash website so this website will be Search Engines friendly and does this mean that i can easily use Adsense or Adbrite in my website?

I think it's time I tried making a Flash project where multiple visitors to a website interact with one another. (I think this is called remoting, but I'm really not sure.) I'm currently deep into AS3, but would like to know how to implement an online multiplayer (or multi-user, I guess) system in both AS3 and AS2.
Where's a good place to get started? In particular, what online resources are available for someone interested in these technologies? And how do I test what I create- preferably, on one machine?

What is the shortest path between zero (ie no flash related development software on my computer or information about where to obtain it or get started) to running a "hello world" ActionScript? I'm hoping for an answer that gives step by step instructions about exactly what software is needed to get started, an example of some "hello world" code, and instructions for compiling and running the code. I've spent more time than I think should be necessary researching this question and not found much information. Hopefully this question will be found by programmers like me who want to get started with Flash/Flex/ActionScript (After my morning of researching I still don't even know what terminology to use so I'll just throw it all out there).

Ideally, I'd like to be able to open up a form that automatically sticks the date and time in, and allows me to enter a subject and message.When I submit the post, it is written to a local xml file. Once it's been written however, I want the a numeric list to be generated in flash of all the posts within a specified month. I know this is kind of a huge project, but I just don't even know where to start.
