If I send remote data from Zend_Amf to Flex, if two array properties on the object have the same data values they are deserialized at the remote end with the same memory storage.Example: AS3 object:

I am trying to find the sum of one column's timings which is like '00:00:00' format. I am splitting the time string at ':' and storing into an array. Then trying to add array1[1] value to array2[1] value. Here I'm not getting type casting logic. I'm getting an error when I give int(array2[1]) += int(array1[1]) .
View 2 RepliesI am running into some trouble adding an array into another array to create a multi-dimensional array.The code appears as below:
var slideDataArray:Array = new Array();
var slideShowDataArray:Array = new Array();
slideDataArray[0] = xmlData.SlideShowParameters.SlideShowImagesDirectory;[code]........
I am looking for a means of placing the slideDataArray into a 'slot' or value of slideShowDataArray so that I can in the end pass the slideShowDataArray as a parameter to another function.As of now, the last slideDataArray appears 11 times (the loop runs 11 times) in slideShowDataArray and the way the code is written the slideDataArray is unique every iteration of the loop.
I am looking to subclass RemoteObject. Instead of:
<mx:RemoteObject ... >
<mx:method ... />
<mx:method ... />

I am making a game. Whenever a level is created, a few large arrays are filled up with numbers. The memory usage is around 3mb. When I want to load a new level, I want to remove these arrays from memory and repopulate them with the data from a new level. But, no matter what I do, the game keeps on using up an extra ~3mb of memory each time I reload a level.
The arrays are not being removed from memory. I have tried setting every element of every array to null, I have tried setting the arrays themselves to null, I have tried using myarray.splice(0) to remove the elements from the array, but the memory is still not being freed.
Why would this be happening? The memory usage is not from movieclips, it is just arrays with numbers in them. And it seems to me like it is impossible to delete them.
Why would this be happening? How do I force flash to remove the arrays from memory
If you ignore all the extra memory overhead involved in storing variables (such as keeping track of property names etc)...How many bytes does Flash use to store a single reference to a "complex object"?And a related question (to avoid creating two threads):How many bytes does a String take up? I'm guessing one byte per character, plus an extra byte for the "end of string" character?

im trying to output my database information in a text input field in flex by using remoteObject(cfc). The information is being provided by a database using a query and an array collection. I'm just unsure how i go about taking the queried array collection information and display it into TextInput Fields.

I have a remoteobject within my main.mxml.I can call a function on the service from an init() function on my main.mxml, and my java debugger triggers a breakpoint.When I move the remoteobject declaration and function call into a custom component (that is declared within main.mxml), the remote function on java-side no longer gets called, no breakpoints triggered, no errors, silence.[code]
View 2 RepliesI am creating a generic button that will remove items created dynamically in a movie clip container from memory (not just from the display list).
To track which item the user has selected for deletion, I have a click function that stores the name of the clicked object in a variable called objName. I then store a reference to the object itself in another variable called targetObj. I can then easily remove the object from the stage like this[code]...
In 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?

I've been tinkering around with Flex RemoteObjects, and I've found that they aren't very well behaved with respect to timing out.First, I can't figure out how to set a timeout on "connect". I know I can set requstTimeout, which will correctly timeout after an initial handshake... But if the server doesn't handshake, the connection doesn't time out (eg, the server accepts the connection, then does nothing with it, the client will just be left hanging).
Second, when a requestTimeout fires (timing out the request), Flex doesn't actually take any steps to tear down the connection - it just leaves it hanging there (no RST or the like). Clearly, this is more than a little bit undesirable. Is there any way to explicitly tear down the connection after the timeout?
I was wondering what is considered to be a best practice when I have multiple components and use RemoteObject for AMF communication with a PHP backend.
Have the RemoteObject in the Main.mxml file with all the methods declared here (with handlers and all) and have all components call functions from the parentApplication, thus having a centralized result and fault handling, but making reusiability more difficult.Have a RemoteObject in each component with only the methods (and handlers) relevant to that component, thus making it easy to have clean, reusable components.
Is it possible to abort a flex remoteObject call? I tried the below method but the http request is still loading in the background:[code]The thing I'm interested in is freeing up the browsers HTTP Pipeline, just like in javascript where you can use abort on the XHR.
View 2 RepliesI need to make a function that execute a java method and return his result. It is static becouse a lot of other functions will call this function. So I did this:
public static function FKDescription(dest:String):String{
var jRemote:RemoteObject = new RemoteObject();
var s:String;
[Code].....
But the function returns null, because the valresult() was not been called at the end of main function. What shoud I do to make FKDescription() return the string that came from remoteobject?
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.
I wonder what the most common reasons for memory leaks in AS3 are.First thing what I am not sure about is: is it better to have a variable reference inside a function or outside it. Will the variable be null-d automaticly inside a function or when do I have to null it and when not?I have massive problems with my game with memory leaks. I noticed I reference some of the clips of the timeline even inside my debugging clip to display propertys and this was causing collecting huge amount of memory.But even before I go into the game with bigger objects the System.memory is slowly growing and growing.I just have a socket connection and some interval loops and enter_frame events.
View 5 RepliesThis might be a dumb question. I think I already know the answer, just clarify. If you declare a object in varible1 and then pass the value into varible2. If you decide to null varible2 would that kill just the reference or the object itself as well. I want to say no, but then again, everything you do to the reference it self, also affects the space in memory.these are the 2 varibles in my class.
private var objects:Array;
private var viewableObjects:Array;
above are class varibles. Later on in my code I add an object to the objects arrayobjects[0][4] = new Enemy1();When i trace i get the following[object Enemy1]I then add it to viewable objects arrayviewableObjects.push(objects[0])
In my example I have established root items (item1,item2,item3 and item4) and sub-items underneath them, and I can easily access the values at the sub-level, but I can't figure out how to output the values on the root level, if I use treemenu[0] it doesn't output "item 1" but the values on the sublevel, how can I point to the actual value on the root level? so it would output for example "item 1"?
Code:
var treemenu:Array = new Array(new Array());
treemenu.push("Item 1");

I have a little problem and I guess it won't be difficult to solve, but I am still learning to create codes and I get stuck every once in a while (more every than once haha). What I want is to create to different arrays, one for all the buttons I have, and the other for all the instances of the frames that will take me when I hit each button. So for example if I hit mybutton3, it should take me to frame3.

Is there a simple way to ask "Does this array contain this value?" For example I have an array1 [0,2,4,6,8,10] and another array2 [1,3,5,7,9]. I want to say something like:

In this case of course it would find the value "3" in array2 and then do the appropriate action specified there.
I am in the process of writing an application in Flex 3.3, using the Cairngorm framework, for deployment as an AIR application. The application heavily utilizes RemoteObject services to get data from a web server.Each of my service delegates extends a common class which provides a method for calling service methods on the RemoteObject.So, where I previously usedServiceLocator.getInstance().getRemoteObject('myService').myOperation.send();I instead usethis.send('myOperation', 'myService');I use this method instead of calling the RemoteObject operations directly because this method adds another, global, responder to the operation call. This extra responder analyses data in the headers of reponse from the server.
Or at least it should -- this is where the problem is. In the result data (event as mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent) the headers property is always null despite the headers definitely being sent from the server.
I have a swf which, for some reason, has four RemoteObjects pointing to the same ChannelId, but they are listing that channel as being at two different spots. In four of the five RemoteObjects, everything behaves as expected, but in the fourth (WidgetService), the version on dev is switching from dev.context.root toloc.context.root. To make matters more confusing, it only does this on the dev server (QA and production are fine, as are local builds).The relevant information from the config files follows:
#This is from build.properties, which is used by Ant
#to build the swf on the server
flex.sdk.dir = /path/to/sdk/flex_sdk_3.2.0.3958

I am using Google AppEngine, in conjunction with PyAMF to provide RemoteObject support. In my Flex code I make several RemoteObject method calls at once which tends to batch the AMF Messages into a single HTTP request. Most of the time this is fine but AppEngine applies some strict per request limits (in this case I am hitting a DeadlineExceededError - max 30 seconds). A number of service methods are expected to take upwards of 10 seconds and if these are batched by the RemoteObject into 1 HTTP you see where this is going. Now you could say refactor your service calls and that is also going on but not really the question being asked here. Is there a way to prevent Flex RemoteObject from batching AMF requests for situations like this? I have done a fair amount of Googling on the subject and come up with bupkis. It seems to me that I would need to implement a custom version of mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel or something of that nature, which seems waay too hardcore for a feature like this
View 3 RepliesI have a Flex app that uses Flash Remoting and the RemoteObject to pull data from a ColdFusion CFC. About 75% of the time it works, but the other times I get a message using Charles (a debugging tool) that says faultString = "Unable to Invoke CFC". FaultCode = "Server.Processing".
Here's my RemoteObject:

<mx:method name="getCARs" result="resultHandler(event)"/>
