actionscript

I search for a long time, but I still not found the answer. In common case, we keep the token of a remote method call, Flex -> Java for example. But, if the client know that the current call is not needed anymore, how stopping the server processing ? With an asyncToken, is it possible to stop a remote call ? Thanks for your answer. As I understood it, an AsyncToken just provides extra data for some operation. You'll need to access that operation to cancel. IF you're calling an HTTPService , you use the cancel() method. If you're using a WebService , you should be able to call getOperation()

I am trying to build a flash player for my company's Shoutcast server, and have seen a few articles about it on the 'net, including this SO question here . However, I can't seem to get the audio stream to actually play. It seems to be connecting alright, but calling stream.play() doesn't seem to do anything. I have tried the code in the SO question I have linked to, and have also tried something similar to this (sorry i don't remember the exact syntax): public function stream() { private var url:URLREQUEST = "my.domain.com"; private var sStream:Sound = new Sound(); sStream.load(url); sStream

my question is the Flex transposition of this question : Can I pass an array as arguments to a method with variable arguments in Java? That is, I have an Array in some Actionscript code and i need to pass every object indexed in the array into a method method(...arguments) . Some code to make it clear: private function mainMethod():void{ var myArray:Array = new Array("1", "2", "3"); // Call calledMethod and give it "1", "2" and "3" as arguments } private function calledMethod(...arguments):void{ for each (argument:Object in arguments) trace(argument); } Is there some way to do what the comment

I was wondering if there are any code or class libraries out there on how to implement multithreading or "green threading" in ActionScript. As you've might seen, Scott Peterson is developing some kind of toolset, but I haven't found any more info on this other than his performance on the Adobe MAX Chicago event. Regards Niclas Here's a Green Threading lib from Drew Cummins: http://blog.generalrelativity.org/?p=29 There's no built-in way to do green threading in ActionScript. You have to write code to handle it. Make a function that performs one iteration of whatever operation you want to do.

how do you find an object's index / position within an array in flash actionscript 3? I am trying to set a conditional up in a loop where, if an object's id is equal to the current_item variable, I can return its position within the array. Something like this might help you - this example returns the position of the value 7: private var _testArray:Array = new Array(5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 8, 7, 6); public function ArrayTest() { trace (_testArray.indexOf(7)); //Should output 2 } so for your needs: item variableToLookFor = 9 // Your variable here private var _testArray:Array = new Array(5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 8,

I just wrote this incredibly verbose code to turn numbers like 2 into 02. Can you make this function shorter, please (maintaning the functionality)? public static function format(n:int, minimumLength:int):String { var retVal:String = n.toString(); var stillNeed:int = minimumLength - retVal.length; for (var i:int = 0; i < stillNeed; i++) { retVal = "0" + retVal; } return retVal; } Please use types for variables. Extra points (good-vibe points, not SO points) if there's already a built-in function that I don't know about. If anybody wants to post some extremely short equivalent in some other

I'm developing an applications which I've got running on a server on my linux desktop. Due to the shortcomings of Flash on Linux (read: too hard) I'm developing the (small) flash portion of the app in Windows, which means there's a lot of frustrating back and forth. Now I'm trying to capture the output of the flash portion using flash tracer and that is proving very difficult also. Is there any other way I could monitor the output of trace on linux? Thanks... Hope this helps too (for the sake of google search i came from): In order to do trace, you need the debugger version of Flash Player
