sendAndLoad Timeout

You cannot set the timeout value in ActionScript...  Not sure what the solution is thought...

would something like this work... ?

// import the class:
import com.gskinner.net.LoadVars2;
myLV:LoadVars2 = new LoadVars2();
// subscribe to its data event:
myLV.addEventListener("data",this);
 
// add some data to send:
myLV.username = "frank";
myLV.password = "cheesepenguin";
 
// set the timeout period to 10 seconds (default is 7s):
myLV.timeout = 10000;
 
// this should timeout after 10 seconds:
myLV.sendAndLoad("http://1.1.1.1/noFile.php",myLV,"POST");
 
// function to handle the data event:
function data(p_evtObj:Object):Void {
   if (p_evtObj.src != undefined) {
      trace("Loaded successfully with source: "+p_evtObj.src);
    } else {
      trace("An error occurred while loading");
    }
}

Interesting...  Never seen such class before...  Thanks, jeremyBass26...  ;)

wasn't sure if it'd fit the need here... Just trying to help and learn too hehe :D

cheers

this is very nice, but this allows me to set a timeout that is smaller than the default one set by the parent class LoadVars..

which means if I can't extent the default timeout set by the parent, I am still out of luck here....

as the default  timeout is too short...

but you should be able to loop and fake a new request...? just thinking out loud...

wait... did you try to set is at a high number?

this is the code I put up

// set the timeout period to 10 seconds (default is 7s):
myLV.timeout = 10000;

It'd be nice if you could close this topic if you resolved the problem...  ;)

Hey,

I didn't

I could not find a way to detect timeout... did you ?

It seems like what jeremyBass suggested should work???  If not, can you post the code you have tried???

CyanBlue

no, becuase after about 15, flash gives up and returns with an error, while actual timeout of the server could be 45 seconds
