Hi Hans, The way I used to fix it, was indeed by using some sort of interval solution. Only to break up the loop in more parts so the animations won't get bothered with it. I have an example online at http://www.bensmeets.com/2007/04/09/using-threads-inside-flash/ (download the zip, it contains an animated example and source also).
HTH, Ben -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hans Wichman Sent: vrijdag 6 juli 2007 14:10 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] breaking up long actions Hi list, I'm running a process on a tree of objects that require lots of objects to be created. This takes somewhere around 300ms on my pc, and will usually be run as the swf starts or as all classes have been loaded. 300ms is enough for a stutter let alone when its run on slower pc's so I want to break down the task in subtasks to have it more processor friendly. I know this has been discussed a few times but cant seem to find any resources on it. At the moment I'm thinking of using a stack of nodes to process, and using the stack and an alloted time, to complete the whole process, eg in pseudo: onInterval() { if (process.isDone()) { clearInterval and send done event } else { process.continue(); } } The problem is old but I was wondering if anyone has come up with good solution to this. Usually by the time we find out a process is slow, the way we built it doesnt really allow us to break it up in chunks easily, especially with recursive structures etc. regards, JC _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended recipient(s) only.
