to Nick…
explaining Your problem would get You a LOT faster to a solution. If You´re trying out the example code from the post, obviously You ARE FORCING a script time out…It is not the solution, but the problem.
To set the time out limit You have to use the Flash authoring tool´s option (like mentioned in the post), if You´re on a command line compiler (as mxmlc), see my post above.

cheers.

Can u please elaborate the function…..I’m stuck to the time out issue and tried using the above code. but

Help is appreciated.
Thanks

PLEASE HELP

MUCH OBLIGED

if I’m initializing an actionscript3 project in flexbuilder, Couldn’t I use ‘Ctrl + shift + F12′ to set script time limit?
seems your way to set time limit is based on flash cs3, etc.

Using a Timer instead of an EnterFrame there is a little more time between the calculations so the you can run some other code to inform your visitors.
In this example I used a trace but in contrast to the EnterFrame example this code will show the traces in between the timeouts (instead of saving them and only showing them at the end when the complete calculation is done).

Here is the new code:

package {
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.utils.getTimer;
public class TestMC extends MovieClip{
private var i:int = 0;
private var timer:Timer;
public function TestMC() {
this.timer = new Timer(100, 0);
this.timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, this.calculate);
this.timer.start();
}
private function calculate(event:TimerEvent):void {
try{
while(true){ this.i++; }
}
catch(e:Error){
trace(“____________\nTimeout #”+this.timer.currentCount+”: ‘i’ after “+getTimer()+” ms = ” + this.i);
if(i<0){ //i will be negative when it becomes to big, normally you would check here if your calculation is done…
this.timer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, this.calculate);
}
}
}
}
}

In my current project, the primary dataset exceeds 2Mb. It times_out with reckless abandon, so it’d be nice to inform visitors that something is happening…

Could you please post the syntax to set the script timeout for actionscript 2.0?

please please please

Thanks,
