A script in this movie...
|
|
| Simon Lord 2005-05-22, 8:45 pm |
| How can we track down the cause of such an error? I have never
actually been able to get my app on my Mac or PC here to fall prey to
this "A script in this movie is causing it to run slowly..."
(paraphrasing) but some users report seeing this error from the minute
the app loads or after 20 ins of user etc.
It appears random and as I said, has never actually happened *to me*,
although I have seen this error before in other apps.
Is it a CPU issue? I have some setItervals running but nothing that
would run so *fast* as to cause the movie to run slowly (or so I
thought). My Mac is an aging Dual G4 500 while the PC is a clunky
1.5Ghz emachine, so I figure if anyone should be seeing these errors it
would be myself.
Ideas? I know nothing about what other scenarios could cause this
error to appear.
Sincerely,
Simon

| Maybe you are setting an interval, then set it again before clearing the old
one. So you end up with more and more intervals over time, eating memory.
Just an idea.

| god knows the number of times I have sent suggestions to flash team for =
information on these errors.=20
Just start removing code here and there or simplifying it and try again =
until it works, then rewrite the problem code.

| Simon,
Besides what Stefan suggested, you also might want to consider bad
loops or other code that effective horse-races around your machine
without end. I doubt it's the processor, though.
You're probably just too good of a programmer to get stuck in an
endless loop, and that's why you haven't seen those problems. =; > }
HTH,
Bill

| Hehe, thanks Bill. I think Stefan is right, I may have to carefully
inspect my intervals to ensure they die before called again.
As for skill, it's been almost two years and I still consider myself a
beginner...
Thanks guys.

| Common practice is to call clearInterval the exact line before setInterval;
that way, you are always ensured your interval is cleared before calling it
again. Secondly, putting it in the first line of the function the interval
is calling is another sure fire way.
clearInterval(testID);
testID = setInterval(this, "test", 1000);
function test()
{
clearInterval(testID);
trace("Test");
}
