Flex :: Most Scalable Web Stack For High Performance Flash?
Jun 11, 2009I am in the planning phase of a new multi-user client/server app using Flash via Flex and AIR. I am trying to decide which web platform/stack is the best suited for this? I have used RoR in the past, but as i understand, RoR is single-threaded, and is therefore not the ideal choice for handling potentially thousands of simultaneous requests. I have done some reading about Scala and Lift and that is an intriguing option, but i was wondering if there are other languages/frameworks out there that would work well for my project?

Jul 4, 2008Currently I use ...

which in effect will get me the method name which called callingMethod(). In order to support reflection via describeType(), a class has to be extended with the class containing callingMethod which isn't very developer friendly (very fragile in general). Are there any other methods I can use to figure out from within a method, which name it has?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Getting Specific Average Number - Stack Over Flow Error
Nov 8, 2010I'm having AS3 create 12 random var (play1, play2, etc) and then I ask it to average the 12 vars (numbers) until I get a specific average number. When I run this in AS2 I get the "script time error, keep running?" question. I tell it to keep running and eventually AS2 finds the right set of 12 numbers to equal a specific average number. In AS3 I get a "stack over flow error". I know that all my AS3 swf needs is just more time to find it.

Sep 24, 2006i'm trying to make a website in a number of buttons and layers. In one section i need to have an if statement on the buttons as where in the timeline they go is dependant on where the user is (this location is set in a variable called "destination".
The problem is that when i have = in the if statement it bypasses the first section and only does the else action (ie trace ("else")), and if i put == in the statement it only does the first action (ie trace ("gallery")) no matter what "destination" is.
here is my code:
on (release){
if (destination = "gallery"){
trace ("gallery");

Performance :: Optimization - Improving Performance With Large #'s Of Objects
Jan 11, 2011I'm devloping some library classes for flocking/steering behaviours on large numbers of objects (2000+). I'm finding that at < 500 instances, performance is reasonable. As the numbers increase, framerate bogs down.
I've seen remarkable performance with libraries such as Flint or Box2D with ridiculous #'s of particles / objects, so it should be possible to optimize / refactor my code to be a bit better.
I'm aware of the basic optimizations, such as bitwise operations and optimized for loops. Are there any more fundamental approaches I should be considering? For example, currently each instance is a vector-based MovieClip. Would working with BitmapData be more efficient?
Performance :: Flex - Using Nested ViewStacks Cause Performance To Decrease?

Performance :: Improve Flex Performance For Invisible Views?
Mar 19, 2012We have a medium size Flex 3.6 application that contains around 20 different page views (managed via a single lazy ViewStack) each having multiple components. Most use custom renderers.All model data is loaded at startup and changes to model instances are communicated via binding and/or collection change events.Once the user has viewed each page at least once, all page views are instantiated and happily listen to update events.Which in effect means that each time a model instance changes, all interested views receive that event and compute derived data or trigger item-renderers.I have tested and confirmed this behaviour in a proof-of-concept application. Even when setting a list to being invisible, it still listens to collection change events and invalidates any renderer affected.What would you do?
View 1 RepliesCall Script At Certain Number Increments?
Apr 13, 2009Not sure what to call this. I want a function to fire at a certain increment of a given var number, without having to say if (var >= 1000 && <= 2000 || var > = 2000 && <=5500){ etc etc etc. for example I want it to fire when it gets past 1000, then fire again when it gets past 2400 so on, and so fourth. To make matters more clear, im trying to make player experience that launches the level up screen at the given numbers ^^ I dont even know where to begin with how to do this, is it an array function?

View 4 RepliesProfessional :: Cloning Text Without Any Relationship?
Aug 8, 2011Flash CS5 I wish to e.g create a clone of a text box, I have named the text in properties, I select it and go copy paste in place and it is also with the same property name, so any coding affecting the one will affect that one also. If I rename this in properties maybe I will be ok and ind that it now is seen independently of the original item.
It seems that copy paste creates a linked item, delete or alter the one and the other ones changes also.What's the best way to utilise something you have created and make a clone to then modify this without the source also being influenced by the changes ?

But it needs to scale from 75 to 100 and back to 75 smoothly, while it's being moved by another script.

May 11, 2007I need to call a function every number of seconds or so.. I'll just show some code:
Code:
image0.folder = "folder1/";
image1.folder = "folder2/";
[Code]....
basically, what it does is when i click, a block box (textholder), fades in, then after a few seconds (in this case, 2), it fades out again.. it works fine on the first click, but after more clicks, the interval duration seems to be getting smaller, up to a point where it is zero, and nothing happens.
and I need to use another setInterval() function (to call the changeTxt() function), will that affect the setInterval function i have up there now? i've linked an swf, to better show what i mean. [URL]
