Oct 3, 2011I have a flex application that shows information gathered from different external services by using rest api. Some of them are resource intensive, take longer to response.

View 4 RepliesFlex :: Asynchronously Poll A File Using A Flash Timer Without Blocking The UI?
Jun 26, 2009I have a flex application that repeatedly polls a remote XML file to detect changes, but I've found that once the file hits a certain size, the poll blocks the UI and makes the page unresponsive for a short time.
Is there any way to ensure that the call made to the server or the event from the flash.utils.Timer class runs asynchronously to the main UI thread?
Flex :: LocalConnection AsyncError : Dispatched When An Exception Is Thrown Asynchronously?
Nov 6, 2010I'm working on implementing communication between an Adobe AIR app and a browser Flash object, and the LocalConnection documentation mentions an asyncError as a potential event:
asyncError: Dispatched when an exception is thrown asynchronously — that is, from native asynchronous code.
However, that's the only documentation I can find on it. Does anyone know what this error actually means? I've searched around but couldn't find any reference -- most sample code I found does an addEventListener() for the asyncError but doesn't give any clue as to what it means or when it could occur (i.e. if it could occur when sending or when recieving).The Adobe documentation page also lists potential events for each method, but asyncError isn't listed under any specific method, only for the general class.
Actionscript 3 :: Update Data Inside A Scroller Asynchronously In Flex?
Nov 22, 2011I am adding data inside a VGroup dynamically using Action Script. Each data is an instance of a custom component. So when the number of item is more, It take time to load, which look bad.
Is there any way, we can load data to it, asynchronously or is there any way, so that more data can be added inside a scroller only when the scroll bar reaches to the end ( as it happens in Android or IPhone).?

Flex :: Mxml - Components Bound To Empty ArrayCollection At Load Time Don't Render As Expected When The ArrayCollection Is Updated?
Oct 27, 2009I'm new to Flex and am using TileList bound to an ArrayCollection. The array collection is empty at load time, and then updates with the results from am HTTPService call. The problem is that the item renderers aren't being rendered as expected, I'm guessing because there was no data when they were first rendered at load time. Here's simplified example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Flash :: Can Swf Be Downloaded Asynchronously
Jan 25, 2012I'm starting a project that will build a flash file with quite complex capabilities. I expect the size of the swf/swc files will be quite big.

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: PHP To Flash Asynchronously
Jan 31, 2010I have a Flash application that exchanges data with php scripts. Problem is, I can SEND updates, not receive.Example:
- user drags an object to another area
- flash sends this action to a php script using URLLoader
- the server acknowledges the action and returns an "ok" message with the same URLLoader
Now if the server wants to send a message, like "there's an update available", or "your friend has logged in", how is this supposed to happen?I believe an always-open socket is out of question, because the server will have to handle too many users at once and the section might be indefinitely long. I'm not so sure about the Flash client constantly pinging the server.So, what's the best way to send data from PHP to Flash asynchronously?

View 3 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Large Content Asynchronously
Aug 20, 2010I have made an application which loads large pictures and videos (1920*1080 px).
- Picture component is a swf movie that I load with a Loader and feed him with the path of the picture I need
- Video component is a custom actionscript class that uses Video class.
Before to create any of these components, I display an animated sprite (a wheel to suggest a current loading). Then I create this component and load the content. When the content is loaded, then I add it to the display list and remove the wheel sprite.As these actions take a while, the wheel is visible for 1 to 2 seconds. My problem is that during this loading operation (by a Loader or Instantiation), the animated Sprite is not running properly and smoothly, like if Flash was loading the pictures and videos synchronously.Is there a way to make an animated sprite running properly while I am loading a swf or loading a video through the instantiation of a class, means running something asynchronously?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Delegate Heavy Computations To Be Handled Asynchronously (on The User's Machine)?
Aug 20, 2010Is it possible to delegate heavy computations to be handled asynchronously (on the user's machine)? When it's done, I could just fire an event, catch the new data, and update. I have played with this for lesser operations, by just setting up a que and only handle a few operations per frame; but is there another method? That feels like a heavy handed workaround, and it won't scale with faster/slower machines. IE: 12 operations per frame works fine on the test machine, but my machine can handle more, but won't do it because it's hard coded.

Jan 20, 2005It looks like this might be a bug, but Im not sure. When you load two or more MediaDispay/Player-components into different levels (using loadMovieNum()) in a project, the project will crash/freeze.
Its enough just having one of these components in the library (ie. not on the stage) in two or more .swf's that gets loaded into the project, for it all to freeze up.
Flex :: Example Flex Zend AMF Sharing Web Services Between Components In ViewStack
Aug 10, 2011I've been searching for the last couple days but can't seem to find a basic example of what I'm looking for. I'm developing a Flex 4.5 app and in it I have a viewstack of 2 components that use some of the same services. Currently the only way I can get the app to correctly use the web services is by defining 2 different web services that use the same PHP web service file. For example: I have an app, and within it I have a viewstack with tab navigation of 2 components: #1) retrieve a list of all Salary Employees, and #2) retrieve a list of all Contractors. Currently to get it working I am defining a UsersTableEmployees webservice within component #1 and a UsersTableContractors webservice within component #2, but they both point to the same PHP class, and only differ in the arugment value I pass to them. Ie, getUsers("employee") and getUsers ("contractors"). Of course this is not best practice.
Searching StackOverflow and Google gives me many results about ColdFusion and MVC (example What's the best way to share data between components in Flex?), but I'm still confused. Can anyone here point me to a basic example (even sample MVC) and source code of an app that uses Zend AMF and allows different components to call common web services?

Dragging Components In Flex?
Apr 3, 2010so I am trying to drag around some images in a canvas. I am adding eventlisteners to the components and calling startDrag() and stopDrag() to pick them up and stuff:
component.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, component.startDrag)
The problem is that it is selecting the image at its (0,0) location and not where I initially click on it. So there's a sudden "jump" when I click on the image. It is not smooth.
I noticed that startDrag() has two default parameters, one of them is lockCenter and it is default to false. Maybe do I set it equal to true somehow? (I don't know how to pass arguments to my second parameter in addeventlistener)
Another question: if I want to add more conditions to it, like make a new function that uses component.startDrag(), how do I pass the component to this function while adding event listener to it at the same time? for example: I want to do:
component.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, some_other_function);
where some_other_function uses component.startDrag();

The "If you have not entered your credentials, enter your credentials by clicking" is a string.The "Set Credentials" is a button so it can be clicked by the user.I tried putting the string in a textarea which wrapped the text but could not get the button to horizontally align with the text. I also tried adding them both with Tile, then I do not get proper wrapping.

View 2 RepliesFlex :: Adding Components To CoverFlow?
Jun 26, 2009I'm working with the CoverFlow library by Doug McCune.
In the example included, he has created some panels inside a CoverFlowContainer. There are other examples of him populating the coverflow from an RSS feed on the page linked above but he doesn't include the source for these :(
I will eventually be retrieving data from a web service to add to the coverflow however I'm starting with this simple example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle" xmlns:containers="com.dougmccune.containers.*" creationComplete="init()">
[Code]....
I've defined some panels in the mxml and set creationComplete=init() so that the new panel I've created in ActionScript will be added to the CoverFlow container.
When I launch the application it displays the two predefined panels but not the one I have created in ActionScript.
