Yeah try to break up large for-loops. Use Application.application.callLater() to call a method, that will give the UI time to update before calling the method.
For example you could like loop through 1000 items and use the callLater method every 100 items to update the UI. gr marcel --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Gregor Kiddie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The only real solution for this (as I'm sure you've discovered) is to > try and separate the work up into chunks, allowing the UI to be updated > in between these chunks. > > Until we get multiple threading, you have to limit the amount of work > you are doing at any one time if you want the UI to keep up. > > Gk. > > Gregor Kiddie > Senior Developer > INPS > > Tel: 01382 564343 > > Registered address: The Bread Factory, 1a Broughton Street, London SW8 > 3QJ > > Registered Number: 1788577 > > Registered in the UK > > Visit our Internet Web site at www.inps.co.uk > <blocked::http://www.inps.co.uk/> > > The information in this internet email is confidential and is intended > solely for the addressee.
