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.

I need to program a timer for a typing tutorial program. It needs to go to 5 minutes. When the timer gets to 5 minutes the movie has to go to frame 13 which displays the results of the typing test.
View 1 RepliesI have a web app that uses a flash uploader (swfuploader) and recently a user pointed us to a bug that happens when the script hangs more than 30 seconds. I know flash documentation mentions that after 30 seconds of no response it will timeout, so i know i need to send some data to the browser before my convert function ends. As of now the script uploads the file, convert it, and if it is a multipage pdf it will save the reference children pngs to db, this works fine on big and small files, problem happens that after 30 pages it will hang for more than 30 seconds.
View 2 RepliesI have created a flash program and I would like to run a second flash program from inside the first. To explain, say I am running a program that draws a circle and fills it with a color. Then, I have designed a second program that will divide a circle into sectors by entering percentages, to turn that circle into a pie chart. Is there a way to be running the "draw a circle" program and have a button that opens the "divide the circle into sectors" program in a new window and then passes information from that program to the first program. I am sure I will have to send the information from the second program to an XML file and then have the first program recieve it from the XML file (which I can do), but I don't know if I can run the second program from inside the first program.

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'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.

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

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.
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.
