Hello,
I'm building a Flex app and it's been going fairly well. However, I've run
into a problem when trying to load data from an external source (simple TXT
file for now). I can't seem to control when a particular function is called.
What I have is a series of components that are filled with images when the
application starts. I want the list of images to come from a txt file (no
problem with URLLoader). What I'm finding out is that the other functions in my
init routine are called before I finish reading in the file.
For example, I have a routine called from "creationComplete".
function onStart():void
{
initDatabase();
initComponents();
}
in the case above, "initComponents()" is called before "initDatabase" finishes
and I get a bunch of broken image links. Any advice on how I can guarantee the
above executes in order? Is there any way I can force Flex to operate in a very
linear manner (at least for initialization)?
Thanks!
E.
