sounds interesting, would like to have a peek at the code. Do you have it online somewhere to share? thx, Meinte On 12/12/05, hank williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: There is some truth to this, but parf of good architecture is about tailoring what you have to what you need. In my current

I cant share the full actual code because it is dependent on too many things. I have tried to pull a snippet out and edit it to make it understandable. The idea here is that I have a block of data called m_in_videoStorage_generic.items which needs to be processed. The processing is too slow and I

I don't see how UI lock can be effectively solved using actionscript. It seems to me multithreading in AS would be very fancy, and anything fancy that isn't native just slows things down even more in my opinion. On 12/8/05, Mike Britton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It scares me too, but so does UI

You can't count with Flash player for consistent and fast performance apps. The AVM engine never had the proper attention from Macromedia as a serious development platform. So the term multi-threading in AS just scares me. ___ Flashcoders mailing list

I have read in this forum that someone loosely coined the phrase Flash is a single thread app, it's hard to imagine something as high performance and intricate as Flash to be a single-threaded app. So I started to take the above statement to mean that the Actionscript VM

This is correct. There are certainly multiple threads in the flash player. But The AVM does not allow applications to spawn threads directly. However things like sound and video and probably other things execute in separate threads. I am not familiar with the flash source but it is likely that
