Re: [Flashcoders] Massive XML files and Flash
In my current project, I need to be able to pause my traversal function in order to load another nested xml file, which may contain dependencies the current loaded parent xml file is depended on. This almost can't be done by multiple passes or by breaking up data. So what I did was as suggested by many folks on this list: 1. Have a class(TaskManager in my case) extends MovieClip, which can run a function assigned by client in onEnterFrame event handler on demand. 2. Break up traversal recursive loop into a chain of function calls by delegating each call to the TaskManager object. I think this idea can apply to any time-consuming operation , for example, breaking up your parsing routines. The concept is to scatter heavy workload over frames instead of sticking on one frame.

Is there a way to pause the parser, do something else, and then resume parsing? (It sure would be nice if we could do two things at once) Is anyone really having trouble with the XML Object's parser or is it developer defined traversal routine pulling from the DOM that is taking up time? I'm also working with massive amounts of XML data and cannot find a way to speed up my parsing routine. (For one set it takes 10+ seconds to release it's grip on the processor. Not allowing the user to do anything, of course) This will all move to a database in the near future, but the speed issue is not in Macromedia's XML object parsing the data, it's in my traversal of it. I've tried a few different techniques, yet, it's clearly not an issue of the XML objects onLoad parse. -sp On 1/7/06, Johannes Nel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: XPath != *native* E4X i realise this, correct xml parsing is still faster while xpath is a comfort library to use when speed is not essential. xfactorstudio is the best and most complient xpath. have not used MM xpath since 7.0, but its api is extremely limited the best sollution thus far without/minimil server side code is xslt. e4x will mature with beta and release. currently (without using much of it) i find it slow (since my only experience with it is reading bout it and playing with it maybe) . the best sollution is to use remoting and server code and if possible hire a contractor for 2 weeks to backend ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders -- Spencer Markowski The Able Few [EMAIL PROTECTED] 314.631.5576 ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Accordion Question
Sure yes. Accordion inherites load event from UIObject class. In your accordion load event handler, set accordion selectedIndex property. good luck Doug - Original Message - From: coker todd [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flashcoders mailing list flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 11:19 AM Subject: [Flashcoders] Accordion Question Can someone point me to where i can find how to change which item in the stack is selected by default.

[Flashcoders] Desktop Projector and Obfuscator
Hi flash coders, My project will be published as stand-alone desktop projector (exe) file. I believe a swf projector file can still be decompiled by many swf decompilers out there. Does anyone know a AS obfuscator that can handle projector file directly? Or should I take another approach to protect my code? Any suggestions? Many thanks in advance.

Re: [Flashcoders] strange compiler error
I'm having similar problem(flash 7) too. And it's even stranger. All my class files are on local. Some have this error, some donn't. But all files can still be compiled even with this error. - Original Message - From: Robin Burrer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flashcoders mailing list flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2005 8:33 PM Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] strange compiler error I set my system clock two years back (even though I'm pretty sure the system clock of the computer I created the file originally is set correctly) -didn't help either. I had similar problem a couple of moth ago. I had two classes which both had a variable of the data type of the other class. The flash complier (back then it used flash 7) gave me the same error message. I found a workaround by declaring one of the variables as an object datatype so I didn't have to import the class. In this application this is however not the case. I hope all these issues will be solved in AS3.

This usually is a time stamp syncing error Try restarting your machine or deleting the aso files Hi there, I try compile a fla file with the flash 8 IDE. It always gives me this pointless error message. **Error** E:\vss_data\ActionScriptClasses\org\hubb\flashBrowser\UserVO.as: Line 2: The name of this class, 'org.hubb.flashBrowser.UserVO', conflicts with the name of another class that was loaded, 'org.hubb.flashBrowser.UserVO'. Where's the conflict here? That's the same class? All my project classes are in the same directory org.hubb.flashBrowser; My main class imports all required classes. e.g. import org.hubb.flashBrowser.UserVO' And here's the wired thing: When I try to compile this fla at home it works just fine. Also if I do a syntax check with MTASC it's not giving me an error. Any ideas?
