I have been using Galileo with the FB plugin and Subclipse and frequently get 
the same error. I tried uninstalling Subclipse and using Subversive instead, 
but no change. Must be something about how the FB plugin interacts with 
Galileo. I wish Adobe would release a version of FB based on Galileo!

  I discover that this problem is caused by Subclipse plugin.
 
 Really ? How ?
 
  can you recommend me some system for collaboration like team foundation
  system or so for eclipse?
 
 Subversive (the other SVN plugin) ?

[flexcoders] Re: Race conditions when event handlers triggered from different targets

[mike_slinn]

 Yes, the Player has multiple threads. But the ActionScript Virtual Machine 
 executes in only one of them.

According to the Flash Player engineers that I have spoken to, some 
ActionScript method calls are handed off to other threads, for example 
URLLoader.load(). It would be helpful to read a more detailed and complete 
explanation of the Flash Player's threading model, and how functionality 
exposed by ActionScript VM is scheduled.

[flexcoders] Re: Race conditions when event handlers triggered from different targets

[mike_slinn]

 Because actionscript is single-threaded, your scenario cannot happen.

Alex,

That statement is often repeated, but I believe that it is incorrect. The main 
thread is responsible for rendering and AMF deserialization. URLLoader runs in 
its own thread. Pixel Bender runs in its own thread 
(http://www.jamesward.com/blog/2009/04/29/announcing-pbjas-an-actionscript-3-pixel-bender-shader-library/)

I have asked for AMF deserialization be moved to another thread 
(http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-2398)

It would be great if better documentation on the Flash player's threads was 
available.

[flexcoders] Re: MessageBroker problem when creating dynamic destinations

Aurelio,

I cover this in detail in my book Flex Data Services, Hibernate and Eclipse 
(http://www.slinnbooks.com/books/serverSide), with complete working code 
examples.

[flexcoders] Flex Data Services, Hibernate and Eclipse available for early access

[mike_slinn]

This book explains how to design, build and test the Flex Data Services and the 
server-side Java stack of an application built with the Adobe Flash Platform. 
Java EE technology such as Tomcat and Hibernate are covered in detail, 
including reverse engineering ORM POJOs from a database schema, and creating a 
schema from POJOs. Using the tools and techniques described in this book 
series, one or two people can put together a client-server system that would 
have required at least a dozen people ten years ago, in a similar time. What's 
more, the software stack described in this book can support tens of thousands 
of simultaneous users per server CPU, with excellent responsiveness, high 
reliability and presentation-quality graphics.

Because access to remote data sources is part of many applications, the free 
open source BlazeDS package is discussed with working code examples, as well as 
its big brother, LiveCycle DS. This book also covers Hibernate, an 
object-relational mapping technology and shows how it works with databases, 
including reverse engineering ORM POJOs from a database schema, and creating a 
schema from POJOs.
