I have a class which does an XML load, and receives a response that's
roughly 10k. We use this class in several different instances.
We're tracing the server, and the response is sent about one second
after receiving the request. Then we see a roughly 15 second delay
before the onHTTPStatus function is invoked. On the Mac, the
spinning rainbow cursor appears, and in one instance, this delay is
enough to cause the "infinite loop" dialog box to be invoked:
"A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash
Player 9 to run slowly. If it continues to run,
your computer may become unresponsive."
If I hit NO, the response seems to be immediately received and
everything continues correctly. This dialog box never appears on
Windows. On Mac, it appears in the one instance only, and both in
Safari and Firefox.
Two things puzzle me about this:
1. What would cause the dialog box to appear? Between the ".load"
and receiving the httpStatus response, shouldn't Flash just be
sleeping/polling, or does it actually loop while checking for the
response?
2. Where could the delay be? The server seems to have completed
sending, the send is only about 10k, and there shouldn't be much
processing needed between receiving data and the "onHTTPStatus"
handler being invoked, should there?
private var xReceive: XML;
private function host_status( httpStatus:Number ):Void { trace
("httpStatus="+httpStatus); };
private function host_data( sSrc:String ):Void {
trace("======== Source received:");
... // other processing
};
this.xReceive.onHTTPStatus = Delegate.create(this, this.host_status);
this.xReceive.onData = Delegate.create(this, this.host_data);
trace("sending...");
this.xReceive.load( <url> );
------------- output:
sending...
<15 second delay!!>
httpStatus=0
======== Source received:
