Re: [Flashcoders] Multithreaded AS1 - AS2 - AS3 - AS4 - AS5
Nope, not viable, just the only way. No way to remove the print dialogue either. We've all asked Macromedia/Adobe many times for a publicly supported way to pause the thread, and no result has come of it. Since we run in a browser most of the time, I don't think Adobe wants us developers locking the browser up since the Flash Player probably shares the browser thread. - Original Message - From: Judah [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2006 11:50 AM Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Multithreaded AS1 - AS2 - AS3 - AS4 - AS5 Is that a viable way or you just saying that is the only that stops flash execution?

Re: [Flashcoders] Multithreaded AS1 - AS2 - AS3 - AS4 - AS5
Bleh, almost. Sounds getTimer don't stop, just like PrintJob.send. Interval's, onEnterFrame, and animations do, though. Apparently ExternalInterface.call and PrintJob.send make the same call to pause stuff. It's still not a total thread-lock, though... http://dev.jessewarden.com/flash/pause/ http://dev.jessewarden.com/flash/pause/pause.zip - Original Message - From: JesterXL [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flashcoders mailing list flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2006 1:01 PM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Multithreaded AS1 - AS2 - AS3 - AS4 - AS5 :: goes to try :: - Original Message - From: Darron J.
