Re: [flexcoders] callLater, FPS, and lengthy background operations

However I'd like to be able to detect if I'm taking too long per block and running into the next frame. Also, I'd like to do more per cycle if my app finds itself running on a ninja machine :) Anyone have any tips for this sort of thing? Should I just be using the timer and striving for 1/4 of a frame measured in ms? What framerate are Flex SWFs set to run at normally?

Re: [flexcoders] callLater, FPS, and lengthy background operations
Framerates by default are set to 40 FPS. If you happen to have a reference to the stage, you can use the stage.frameRate property. That way you have a solution for all frame rates. I would use an enterFrame solution like callLater, then just check the time within a while loop.
