RE: [Flashcoders] Taking a "screenshot" from a FLVPlayback compon entusing AS

[Bart Zonneveld]

Thanks for the pointer. I currently am using ffmpeg a lot (for automatically
encoding movies), so I decided to use that to write a screenshot to disk.
I'll clean up my code soon, and send it to the list/whoever is interested.
It's a Flash based uploading/encoding/editing proof of concept for videos,
using ffmpeg and flvtool2.

[Flashcoders] XRAY breaks my movie

[eugen pflüger]

hello xray professionals,

i really need your help!

i installed xray with the extension manager. everythings fine.
then i put the xray component on stage on frame 1 (theres only 1  
frame) (classes export to frame 1).

then i did "test movie".

trace window says this:
"(1014) Connections: true | true
256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list.
This is probably an infinite loop.
Further execution of actions has been disabled in this movie."

now its getting interesting:
i did uninstall the component with extension manager. restarted flash.
and when i test movie i get the same trace message!

file size of swf before installation was: 136 kb
after xray it is: 151 kb. the difference is about 16k. (thats whats  
said on the website).


so that thing is still in my fla/swf!
how do i get rid of it

i also did "delete aso files and test movie". no change.

tia

[Flashcoders] FMS Service STOPS??

[Francesco]

Hi all.
I am recently experiencing a strange behavior on our Breeze installation 
with the FMS service stopping (the only one out of 4).
I visited FMS support forum on MM's just to find out that others are 
dealing with this but still we haven't worked this out.


http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=578&threadid=1148846&enterthread=y

my Master log reports:
FMS has detected system time is going backwards; shutting down server.

Has anyone ever heard it before?
thanks

   Xray "crawls" your project, getting info about all of the objects (movie 
clips, arrays, etc). You need to turn off autoupdate so that it isn't 
constantly trying to loop through everything. It happened to me on a big 
project too.

Re: [Flashcoders] XML Parsing

[Danny Kodicek]

Anyone knows something about a ***non* *recursive* XML parser??


Why??


Actually, I'd be interested too. I get frustrated with XML because sometimes 
one uses it for a tree-based structure and sometimes for a linear markup 
structure, and the two don't naturally go together very well. The XML 'I 
like coffee and I love tea' is logically a 
single node with markup, but in a recursive structure the words 'coffee' and 
'tea' are both one level down. This is particularly problematic when parsing 
things like 'one two three four five'.


Flash's XML parser actually deals with this pretty well, but I'm yet to find 
an XML editor which is comfortable with it.

RE: [Flashcoders] Help needed for Novice

[Jim Robson]

Loren,

The stop() command is commented out on frame 5 ("Start"). That would explain
why the movie blows by that frame. If I am reading it correctly, this is
what is happening: When the movie gets to frame 5, it loads start.swf and
keeps playing until it gets to frame 15, where it loads objectives.swf into
the same movie clip ("screen"), thereby replacing start.swf.

By the same token, it looks as though the stop() command on frame 15
("Objectives") will prevent the movie from progressing to the "Introduction"
frame, and therefore the code to load intro.swf is never reached - unless
you have some code inside objectives.swf that instructs the main timeline to
resume playing when objectives.swf is finished, which of course I can't see.

Regarding your play control buttons, they are not addressing the movie clip
that you are trying to control. You are trying to control start.swf,
objectives.swf, and intro.swf. However, your control buttons are all
addressing _root.screen, which is the container into which you load the
others. To fix this, you could assign an instance name for the loaded movie
clips, and use the same name for each clip, and change the code in the
control buttons to address it. For example, if you assigned them all the
instance name "foo" you could change the code in the playme.onRelease
function to _root.screen.foo.play();

HTH

Subject: [Flashcoders] Help needed for Novice

Hi:
I need to load external swfs into a mc.  They will play in sequence, as soon
as one ends, the next one will start.  When running it blows by the first
external swf (start.swf) and the rest of the external swfs will not continue
to load and play after the objectives.swf.  Could someone take a look at my
code and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I've created controls that will allow me to play, pause and stop the
external swfs while they're playing (however, these buttons do not seem to
have any effect on the external swf when it is playing).  I think it is a
scope issue, but I am not sure.  

Also, there's a combo box at the bottom, which allows the user to jump to
any external swf (it actually jumps to certain labels on the main timeline)
at any time.  The combo box appears to work OK.

The FLA is located at:  www.digitalhorizonstudios.com/exstream/newplayer.fla


By the way, this presentation is a fullscreen .exe file when in use, not a
swf played in an html file.

Thanks SO MUCH for any help on this one.

Please reply to the list AND email me directly if you have a solution.

RE: [Flashcoders] retrieving names of external files in a folder(oristhere something similar to Directors getNthFileNameInFolder())

[Boris]

If you don't need to use the flash outside the IDE you could use the
jsfl FLfile.listFolder() function.

e.g.
function init(srcURI){
alert(FLfile.listFolder(srcURI, "directories"));
return(FLfile.listFolder(srcURI, "directories"));
}
init("file:///D:/Documenten/swf/VersoPlugin/_versoDev/_projects/");

[Flashcoders] External Interface Class + form tag

[Sumeet Kumar]

Hi All

 

I m facing problem in JavaScript to flash communication (using External
Interface Class in flash8)

The Problem is as follows

 

The object tag is inside the form tag in a aspx page.

 

I m not able to call a function from JavaScript to flash

 

But if I remove the form tag it works fine

Is this a known issue?

 

Any Work around to this issue

 

Any help would be great

 

 

Regards

RE: [Flashcoders] External Interface Class + form tag

[Bernard Visscher]

If I'm correct they use something like:
Flash = window.flashObject; 
Or
Flash = window.document.flashObject;
To call the object.

Try setting this to flash = document.getElementById("flashObject");

This works with all browser, at least all browsers that support the
ExternalInterface.

Re: [Flashcoders] destructors...

[Tyler Wright]

Ian's right.

ActionScript is a dynamic language with its own garbage collection, for
better or for worse. If you try to apply all the same practices and
rulesfrom strict-typed languages that requre manual memory management
you'll go
crazy. The best thing to do is to realize this type of languages strengths
and weaknesses and try to build on them. It's really up to the ActionScript
Virtual Machine now to do ALL memory management, along with your good
practices of making variables local when they can be local and dereferencing
them when you're done using them.

delete myObject;

by itself does not actually destroy myObject. Rather it dereferences the
variable name 'myObject' from the actual data. Later garabage collection
will take care of it if 'myObject' was the last reference to the data. Doing
a delete in this way on a local variable doesn't actually do anything, as
all local variables should clean on their own once their code block
finishes.

Um - I'm not sure it is beside the point. :-) Given that you are at
the mercy of the garbage collector, implementing a function like:

class MyClass
{
  function cleanup()
  {
delete _someProp;
delete _someOtherProp;
  }
}

is pointless anyway, because if you delete an object of MyClass (or
rather _mark_ it for deletion by calling delete() - that's all
delete() does, and only then if there are no other references to the
class) then its properties are automatically marked for deletion.
Again, unless there are any other references.

The only time I've had to worry about destructors in a
garbage-collected language (such as Flash) is when dealing with
connections to resources - for example, connections to databases, or
closing open socket streams, or releasing handles to video memory
buffers, that sort of thing.

Those sort of things should be pretty rare in Flash... which is why I
asked what you're trying to achieve, because in most cases you can
find a way around it.

If you are dealing with some sort of resource that you want to make
sure shuts down properly when no-one is referring to it, one method is
to explicitly request/release access to the resource and implement
reference counting.

For example, here's a singleton resource class:

class MyResource
{
  private static var _refCount:Number=0;
  private static var _instance:MyResource;

  public function MyResource()
  {
  }

  public static function getResource():MyResource
  {
if (_refCount==0)
{
  _instance=new MyResource();
}
_refCount++;
return _instance;
  }

  public static function freeResource()
  {
_refCount--;
if (refCount==0)
{
  _instance.doCleanup();
  _instance=null;  // You could do delete here if you really wanted
to.
}
  }
}

and then access it like so:

var res:MyResource=MyResource.getResource();

and when you're done
MyResource.freeResource();

But that's really long-winded, and breaks as soon as someone does this:

var res:MyResource=MyResource.getResource();
var res2:MyResource=res; // Took a copy
MyResource.freeResource();

res2.doSomething() // Breaks, because doCleanup() will have been called.

This sort of thing used to crop up quite a lot in C++; which is why
smart pointers and the like were invented.

I can't think of too many situations where you might need that sort of
thing in Flash; which is why I asked what you were trying to
achieve...

Wait though, isn't a class part of the swf compilation? Technically, you

That might be one way of accually doing it.

Re: [Flashcoders] Solved: XRAY breaks my movie

How do you turn on autoupdate?  I've installed the latest xray connector and

autoupdate would keep me from having to take screenshots repeatedly, I would
really like that.

   Xray "crawls" your project, getting info about all of the objects

RE: [Flashcoders] destructors...

[Tom Lee]

Usually, when someone asks "how do I delete a class?" I assume they mean
"how do I remove an instance of a class from memory?", rather than "How do I
delete a class so new instances of it can not be made".

I'm pretty sure you can delete the constructor of a class just by saying

delete myClass;

and that will remove the constructor from memory and prevent further
instantiation of objects based on that class.

Re: [Flashcoders] destructors...

[jeboothjr]

The way I understand it, classes are loaded as global variables.  You 
can see them when you test the movie and click Debug-->List Variables.  
I was on a project with multiple developers. The Shell loaded many 
different swf files. Some of the developers used the same classes and 
slightly modified them for their needs. The issue was that the class 
paths were identical, but even though they were used in separate swf 
files Flash would not replace the first loaded class with the new ones 
from the newly loaded swf files and cause the file to "break".  This 
only happens if the class path is the same.  Also, after using the app 
for a while you can check the "List Variables" again and see that Flash 
had amassed every class ever loaded.  I ended up writing a Class 
Cleaner class to delete the global class variables and it works.  It 
fixed the broken program files.  I don't completely understand the 
details of Flash's garbage collection, but this solved my problem.

I based my class after the idea that I found here:

Yep - that works perfectly well. But it's always better to avoid
situations like this:

Some of the developers used the same classes and
slightly modified them for their needs.

by assigning different package names to different modules, if you know
they'll all
be running in the same 'container' app. (Apart from shared utility

Re: [Flashcoders] XML Parsing

[Jason Lutes]

> I'm experiencing some recursion limit problem with a large XML...

How are you currently reading in the XML -- what kind of code structures,
etc?

What specifically is the recursion limit problem you're having? Are you
getting an error message of some kind? Do you think it's a question of the
nesting depth for nodes in your XML document, or could it be the sheer
quantity of nodes causing the problem?

Reason for the questions: I could go into a lengthy explanation about what
I've done in the way of XML parsing, but I think it best to first find out
if my suggestions can actually apply.

Re: [Flashcoders] Help needed for Novice

[Francesco]

Hi Loren,

   Jim is right. Remove comment from the stop() command on f5 to have 
your movie paly entirely start.swf before advancing.
The onEnterFrame function in frame 1provides automatic advancing when 
the current "screen" mc is completely played.


As for buttons, 1 of them already work (playme), 1 has a misspelled 
instance name ("exit" for "exitme", correct according to the onRelease 
function) and the last (pauseme) isn't defined in the onRollOver 
position (you might want to swap it with the gel Pause symbol in the 
library)


HTH
Good luck,
francesco


Jim Robson wrote:

Loren,

The stop() command is commented out on frame 5 ("Start"). That would explain
why the movie blows by that frame. If I am reading it correctly, this is
what is happening: When the movie gets to frame 5, it loads start.swf and
keeps playing until it gets to frame 15, where it loads objectives.swf into
the same movie clip ("screen"), thereby replacing start.swf.

By the same token, it looks as though the stop() command on frame 15
("Objectives") will prevent the movie from progressing to the "Introduction"
frame, and therefore the code to load intro.swf is never reached - unless
you have some code inside objectives.swf that instructs the main timeline to
resume playing when objectives.swf is finished, which of course I can't see.

Regarding your play control buttons, they are not addressing the movie clip
that you are trying to control. You are trying to control start.swf,
objectives.swf, and intro.swf. However, your control buttons are all
addressing _root.screen, which is the container into which you load the
others. To fix this, you could assign an instance name for the loaded movie
clips, and use the same name for each clip, and change the code in the
control buttons to address it. For example, if you assigned them all the
instance name "foo" you could change the code in the playme.onRelease
function to _root.screen.foo.play();

HTH

Subject: [Flashcoders] Help needed for Novice

Hi:
I need to load external swfs into a mc.  They will play in sequence, as soon
as one ends, the next one will start.  When running it blows by the first
external swf (start.swf) and the rest of the external swfs will not continue
to load and play after the objectives.swf.  Could someone take a look at my
code and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I've created controls that will allow me to play, pause and stop the
external swfs while they're playing (however, these buttons do not seem to
have any effect on the external swf when it is playing).  I think it is a
scope issue, but I am not sure.  


Also, there's a combo box at the bottom, which allows the user to jump to
any external swf (it actually jumps to certain labels on the main timeline)
at any time.  The combo box appears to work OK.

The FLA is located at:  www.digitalhorizonstudios.com/exstream/newplayer.fla


By the way, this presentation is a fullscreen .exe file when in use, not a
swf played in an html file.

Thanks SO MUCH for any help on this one.

Please reply to the list AND email me directly if you have a solution.

[Flashcoders] Export Bitmap Data at runtime

[Rifled Cloaca]

Flashcoders,

With Flash 8, is there a way to turn a bitmapped movieclip into a PNG or
compress it somehow to send it back to the server as a bitmap at runtime?  I
imagine you could send it as raw bitmap data, but it would be quite large.

Thanks!

How are you currently reading in the XML -- what kind of code structures,
etc?

What specifically is the recursion limit problem you're having? Are you
getting an error message of some kind? Do you think it's a question of the
nesting depth for nodes in your XML document, or could it be the sheer
quantity of nodes causing the problem?

Reason for the questions: I could go into a lengthy explanation about what
I've done in the way of XML parsing, but I think it best to first find out
if my suggestions can actually apply.

i'm using a recursive function to parse the XML

The problem is function recursion for sure...

Splitting XML in two and than 'concat' the resulting parsed Array works 
fine, but that's not the solution...

Hi Tom,

No, not using AS3, just AS2. Its seems its not possible, so i've
tackled the problem from the inside using __resolve instead

RE: [Flashcoders] Export Bitmap Data at runtime

[Tom Lee]

You may want to wait for AS3.  At
www.kaourantin.net/2005/10/png-encoder-in-as3.html, you will find a PNG
encoder that one of the Flash Player programmers wrote.  He's also got a JPG
encoder.  Both are written in AS3, because the performance would be too slow
in AS2.

At www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2006/03/saving_bitmapda.html, Grant
Skinner has posted his AS2 solution.  To get around the performance issues,
his solution works with small images.

Also take a look at www.quasimondo.com/archives/000572.php.

AS3 has native support for ZLIB compression, which will make these kinds of
tasks easier.

I

imagine you could send it as raw bitmap data, but it would be quite large.


This has been discussed a while ago, but briefly --

Yes, you have to send the raw bitmap data. You could send that uncompressed 
data to a form (too large), RLE compressed (simple and efficient, easy to 
code; depending on how your image is, it wouldn't compress much) or 
LZW-compressed (a bit more complex, you'll need to find some LZW extension 
for actionscript; could be slow; similar to the compression used by png, 
gif, zip, etc). Then some server-side script would get that data and 
properly assemble the image using whichever format and save it.


Best solutions are RLE or LZW although it depends on how complex your image 
will be.


Slightly off-topic, Tinic Uro has published on his blog a technique to 
encode the image data into some LZW data using built-in player 
functionality; then with the addition of some simple headers it is turned 
into a PNG image and sent to the server via file upload. That's for 
AS3/Flash8.5+ though.

Re: [Flashcoders] Solved: XRAY breaks my movie

[ryanm]

How do you turn on autoupdate?  I've installed the latest xray connector 
and
standalone, and looked at all the menus in the standalone app, and looked 
at

the parameters on the connector.  I don't see autoupdate anywhere.  If
autoupdate would keep me from having to take screenshots repeatedly, I 
would

really like that.

   I think it's called "Recursive Searchs?" or something like that on the 
Tools menu. If you turn it off, it won't recursively reflect the whole 
application, you have to click on a node for it to update the children.

As Peter noted, web distribution is single-source only... Players are

place to go.


If you're developing for a closed intranet, however, then you can 
register for a free license to distribute this behind those closed walls:

(Why? Because things that carry the Adobe brand need to actually be the

there's a single point of web distribution, and contracts with known

Do you mean moving all the content the same over a range of keyframes?  
If so, see

And you should probably post questions like this at flashnewbie instead 
since they don't have anything to do with coding.  (Flashnewbie should

Are you saying the xml is 1600 levels deep?? that's a bit odd to me.
Otherwise, it might be your code which is the problem. Try using a for loop
instead of recursion for example.

Look at ElectroServer as well.

Basically, FCS is a huge media server, and quite expensive. For chat  
systems, it is not needed. ElectroServer and Unity are XML socket  
servers, much more appropriate for chat, which is basically just text.


There are also free socket servers out there, but for the most part,  
you get what you pay for.

Re: [Flashcoders] Solved: XRAY breaks my movie

John turned recursive searches off by default now on the latest

causes this problem in most larger applications. I know he is thinking
about removing it all together in future versions.

Anyway, that's what I know about it. Are you still having the issue

4) draw the jpg from movie clip A into the bitmap, so that it appears in
movie clip B
 
This works properly in the Flash composer, but stops working as soon as I
put the swf file on the server.
No security violation dialog appears, and it should not, since the image and
the movie are loaded from exactly the same domain. 
 
 
I use this code
 
 
downloadListener.onLoadInit = function(source:MovieClip){
 var bitmap = new flash.display.BitmapData(source._width,
source._height);
 _level0.mcB.attachBitmap(bitmap, _level0.mcB.getNextHighestDepth());
 bitmap.draw(source);
}
 
var imgLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
imgLoader.addListener(downloadListener);
imgLoader.loadClip(image_url,_level0.mcA);
 
 
When I put the swf on the server, all pixels of mcB (the target) have color
value 16777215 , which is clearly an error, since this is 2^24 - 1, maximum
color value.
In the flash composer, the pixels have correct color values.
 
Any idea why this is happening?

[Flashcoders] destructors...

[Bjorn Schultheiss]

I have tried various ways of destroying instances.

I once used this type of implementation

// Parent Class
function buildChild() {
var myClass : MyClass = new MyClass();
myClass.addEventListener( "onDestroyChild", this );
}

function onDestroyChild( evt : Object ) {
if ( HashCodeFactory.getKey( evt.target ) == HashCodeFactory.getKey(
myClass ) )
delete myClass
}

// MyClass
function destroy() {
removeAllEventListeners();
dispatchEvent( { type : 'onDestroyChild', target : this } );
}

So basically it doesn't carry a reference to its parent.

But I'm not really using this implementation at the moment.

[Flashcoders] RE: Green Keyline

[Drew Foehn]

Thanks very much for your help guys :) I figured it out. 

I skinned some of the Macromedia V2 Components (combobox & button) and
embedded them into a movie as compiled clips. Then that movie is loaded
into another movie (parent). The _lockroot helped the combobox display
but I still got the keyline. The way I fixed it was to embed the
original macromedia combo box and button into the parent movie and
voila, no keyline.

Damn Macromedia Components!

Hello,

I have built an application that uses extended Macromedia components
(buttons), this application is loaded inside of another swf. In order to
make sure that the _root targets are correct for the app I've used
_lockroot (I know, it's a bad idea). The problem I am having is when the
application is loaded into another swf a green key line appears around
buttons when they are clicked. When the swf is loaded by itself the
problem disappears. 

Has anyone else encountered this issue?

Thanks for the pointer. I currently am using ffmpeg a lot (for

I'll clean up my code soon, and send it to the list/whoever is interested.
It's a Flash based uploading/encoding/editing proof of concept for videos,

Sorry for my slow reply; I'm running around getting ready for E3.

You guys have given me exactly the information I needed.  I knew I was 
coming to the right place!


I'm only looking to stop casual hackers (normal users) so cheaper solutions 
are probably the best.  I already know myself that anything can be hacked so 
it's just a matter of convincing my bosses that Flash is safe "within 
reason."


So is anyone here worried about what the hyper-secure Windows Vista might do 
to Flash accessibility for the average user, especially since Microsoft 
hates Adobe?

[Flashcoders] newbie: nested clips and LoadMovie

[August Gresens]

Hello

Is it possible to access (duplicate and use) clips nested inside another
clip you've loaded into a movie via LoadMovie (or using the
MovieClipLoader).

For example, if I want to maintain a clip external to my main flash project
that has a bunch of misc graphics - after I've loaded this external clip,
can I duplicate these graphics somehow and attach them to clips in the main
project? The purpose of this would be to load all of these graphics all in
one shot, as opposed to loading them individually.


From playing around with it - it seems as though the loaded clip is treated

as an independent media element, with no access to it's children. Is this
correct?

Thanks,

August

RE: [Flashcoders] Unity vs Flashcom for chat and messaging

[Scott Hyndman]

Hey Jim,

Unity, and similar socket servers (WebORB's messaging framework, ElectroServer, 
etc) all use XMLSocket to perform communication AFAIK. This can pose problems 
with firewalls between the client box and the server unless communication 
occurs on open ports. Also, communication is limited to text. Serialization of 
objects into text is quite possible, but you won't be able to transmit 
media-related data such as images (unless encoded), video or audio.

FMS not only allows the ability to broadcast text to other users and the 
server, but also supports video (incl. webcams) and audio (incl. microphones). 
Many of the native ActionScript objects have special features that work with 
FMS, and are documented quite well. The server supports storing objects, media 
and session data in files so they can persist between sessions. FMS is limited 
insofar as serverside scripts must be written in a dialect of ActionScript that 
resembles AS1. You might not even consider that a limitation, as it is quite 
functional and scripts don't have to be too big most of the time, just don't 
expect a rich OOP language to work with. 

FMS has a free version (up to 10 users) and other pricing plans exist to scale 
with any project you may have planned. Some see the prices as too expensive, 
but for any serious project they're really quite reasonable.

Hope that helps,
Scott

Re: [Flashcoders] FMS Service STOPS??

Yeah, totally.  At one point I accidentally switched the date on my

switched it back.  But after that point, FMS quit working, with the

RE: [Flashcoders] bitmap.draw problem in flash 8

[Alec Matusis]

Actually I solved this problem myself.

Bitmap.draw(source) has an (undocumented) security restriction:  source
movieclip has to be loaded from exactly the same domain as the hosted movie
(including the subdomain).

Otherwise draw() just silently fails, WITHOUT producing a security warning.

Subject: [Flashcoders] bitmap.draw problem in flash 8 

 
I need to do the following:
 
1) load a jpg image into a movie clip A from a remote server (same as the
server where flash the movie resides)
2) create a bitmap 
3) attach this bitmap movie clip B
4) draw the jpg from movie clip A into the bitmap, so that it appears in
movie clip B
 
This works properly in the Flash composer, but stops working as soon as I
put the swf file on the server.
No security violation dialog appears, and it should not, since the image and
the movie are loaded from exactly the same domain. 
 
 
I use this code
 
 
downloadListener.onLoadInit = function(source:MovieClip){
 var bitmap = new flash.display.BitmapData(source._width,
source._height);
 _level0.mcB.attachBitmap(bitmap, _level0.mcB.getNextHighestDepth());
 bitmap.draw(source);
}
 
var imgLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
imgLoader.addListener(downloadListener);
imgLoader.loadClip(image_url,_level0.mcA);
 
 
When I put the swf on the server, all pixels of mcB (the target) have color
value 16777215 , which is clearly an error, since this is 2^24 - 1, maximum
color value.
In the flash composer, the pixels have correct color values.
 
Any idea why this is happening?

1600 nodes and some of them have childNodes"  :-)

FMS is limited insofar as serverside scripts must be written in
a dialect of ActionScript that resembles AS1. You might not
even consider that a limitation, as it is quite functional and
scripts don't have to be too big most of the time, just don't
expect a rich OOP language to work with.

   The other thing that should be mentioned here is that FCS didn't play 
well with other servers (may have changed in FMS, I haven't upgraded yet). 
There are ways to interact with other servers, like databases and web 
servers, but none of them are easy or convenient. So the chat server is 
effectively in a sandbox, which may or may not matter at all for your 
purpose.

The problem is function recursion for sure...

Splitting XML in two and than 'concat' the resulting parsed Array works
fine, but that's not the solution...



Are you saying the xml is 1600 levels deep?? that's a bit odd to me.
Otherwise, it might be your code which is the problem. Try using a for

instead of recursion for example.
