I'm using flex4 and actionscript, and need to treat an event in a synchronous mode. Is it possible that? More exactly, i want to execute some queries in a database, and need to be synchronously.
View 1 RepliesI'm playing with Modules and they work as advertised: the module swf's ares built and deployed in the output directories automatically. My problem is that if I use descendants of mx:Module, the IDE does NOT do all this nice work for me. I've listed the module in the Flex Modules section of the project properties, but still nothing. I'm going to end up repeating a lot of code in each module (to fulfill an interface) if I cannot figure out how to make the IDE do its thing.
View 1 RepliesIn the code below when I call chkAuthentication function from another function the remoteObj.login (login function in my service file (.php)) is called after the remaining code in that function. i.e., the loginStatus is returned from the function before the result-handler function loginResult is called. but my loginStatus is supposed to be set in loginResult function. It seems that the asynchronous behaviour is the culprit. what should I do in order to get the loginResult function to complete first?

Is there a way to make synchronous calls using RemoteObject in Flex?
Solution: Add the second call to the result handler of the first call, having a token check for multiple originating calls.
Web service calls are asynchronous in flex, but I wanted to wrap a web service call in a class to provide synchronous encapsulation. Something like the below - the user could call getMyMethodResult and get the result returned by the web service. I expected the thread that recieved the soap response would populate the variable _result and mean that getMyMethod would, after a time, find _result is not longer null. But it doesn't! Can anyone explain why this does not work?[code]
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to make httpService Requests synchronous in Flex?
View 2 RepliesI have small Flex web based util with single button. On this button click a request is sent to server and the response must be read in the same call.This is important not to wait for response with event handler (which is trivial).Basically this is synchronous call.I am ok with blocking ui and so on.
View 1 RepliesI was wondering, in flash MX, if there was any way to treat one whole layer as a movie clip. It would just be much easier for me if it was possible to do this.
View 0 RepliesI have a custom class say class A :
class A
{
public testA:int;
public testB:int;
}
Now, I have a object say Object C , the object has the exact same names of variables and everything as the class.
can I cast that object into class or vice versa. Instead of set/get of individual variables.
I use AS3 in Flash to read XML from an external document. I'm wondering how to tell AS3 to read and treat some of the incoming XML values as variable names. For example, in the beginning of my Actionscript, I have defined the variable:
var playerAge:Number;
and some of the incoming XML nodes look like:
<whichVariable> playerAge </whichVariable>
<whichValue> 10 </whichValue>
Now, upon reading these two nodes, I want to make a function that adds the value of the second node to the variable with the name contained in the first node. However, I can only get AS3 to read the value of the first node as a a string ("playerAge"). How do I get it to make the 'connection' between the XML node and the variable with the same name?
LinkeSetFx has its own CollectionEvent, but I don't know how to map the LinkedSetFx event to mx.events.collectionEvent(I want use it in ComboBox). LinkedSetFx is in AS3Commons-collection framework.Here is the url, choose the as3commons-collections-1.0.0.zip, you'll find LinkedSetFx in srcorgas3commonscollectionsfx

View 3 RepliesI have a big loop in actionscript that sends lots of data to an url:
for(var i=0;i<1000;i++) {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
request.url = url;
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
request.data = data;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.load(request);
}
The problem is because URLLoader can make only asynchronous calls, it sends all those thousands requests at once which kills webserver. Also it acts a bit strange on top of that. Lets say the loop is running for 5 minutes. For whole 5 minutes there is no requests coming to web server, then at the end they all are sent at once. I already tried everything I could possibly think of (empty loops, callbacks, delays) - nothing works. All requests are sent at once no matter what. How to make requests synchronous, so it will send one request after another?
I need a Synchronous loader for my AIR application.The URLLoader class does not meet my needs because of its asynchronous nature.It continues the execution of code. I need to stop the code until the loader loads the Html text.

View 1 RepliesIs there a way to have a synchronous call to a URL to retrieve the HTML code? If not, is it possible to turn an asynchronous call into a synchronous one using some trick? I can't believe Adobe wouldn't implement this option. I tried looping until the result is back but then the status function never fires making my loop infinite.

I'm a ColdFusion developer and recently started working on a project in Flex. I am getting more and more frustrated with AS and Flex lately. It seems that whatever I'm trying to do is either really hard or impossible while it usually can be done with one line of code in ColdFusion. I'm still learning these languages and I'm sure my lack of knowledge is the reason but for some reason I can't get ahead with my project. It looks like the learning curve is much steeper than it should be.

Anyways, here's my code for testing this functionality. The main application file looks like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" applicationComplete="init()">
<mx:Script>
[code]....
This works OK except the function returns false before the HTTP call returns its result. If I un-comment the while loop the onStatus function will never be called and therefore end up with an infinite loop. Not sure why this happens.
A simple piece of code that should trace [code] and I get something completely far away from that,[code]Is the trace function that bad? that slow? is it the fact that passing an argument to the function take so much time compare to the other one?is there something I can do to avoid this type of weirdness ?(For the record, my project is not to trace {rien, done and test}... I have 15k lines of codes that react completely differently if I compile them with "Omit trace statements" or not.
View 2 Repliesi am using soundmanager to order sounds. my site preview, in home page, square shapes comes into stage and you can drag drop them, all shapes binded its own sound. if they are colliding binded song will play.
the problem is i have 3 second timer to control sounds. every timeout i have to stop sound and play again for synchronous issue, that is my solution for that part. but sometimes before loop, there is an annoying little silence.

Is there any way to do synchronous movie to movie communication (from a loaded movie to a loader in different domains).I need that parent does not trust child but child can trust parent if needed.

View 1 RepliesJust wanted to ask if there is any advantage for either using mouse click event or touch tap events, when writing apps for mobiles or tablets (for the iphone especially)?
I know that both of them should work fine, but in term of performance, is anyone better? Are there any things I should be aware of when choosing either?
By the way am using actionscript3 to implement the app.
I have an animation that I want to start when clicking on the flash window. However, I've also have some buttons on the stage. If I add an event listener for MouseEvent.CLICK on the stage, then it 'eats up' the events and the buttons don't work.
I've tried some tricks, by adding some invisible buttons on top of the real ones, and use the MOUSE_OVER event to selectively enable/disable the mouseEnabled flag for the stage, but didn't work because it complains that the property or method doesn't exist (which I find odd).

I've doubt when we create custom event in flex.
Why do we use 'type:String, bubbles:Boolean=false, cancelable:Boolean=false' these parameter in flex events.

I am able to get the result, but not able to dispatch the event from the custom actionScript class. I googled and got the riposte that you need to add it to display list.
