simultaneous LoadVars - sendAndLoads???

[Wok]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew weather it was possible to perform simultaneous LoadVars - sendAndLoad?

It appears to work when calling them, but do they happen at the *same* time?

Thanks.

Actually one must complete before another can be called... this is at least true in MX.

hi

u need to use functions


and here the code to call another loader after the one was complete

code:

---

loader1 = function () {

	TheLoader1 = new LoadVars();

	myLoadVar1 = new LoadVars();

	myLoadVar1.some_var = "your_var";

	myLoadVar1.onLoad = function(success) {

		// add some code here

		// now call the loader2

		loader2();

	};

	TheLoader1.sendAndLoad("file.php", myLoadVar1, "POST");

};

loader2 = function () {

	TheLoader2 = new LoadVars();

	myLoadVar2 = new LoadVars();

	myLoadVar2.some_var = "your_var";

	myLoadVar2.onLoad = function(success) {

		// add some code here

	};

	TheLoader2.sendAndLoad("file.php", myLoadVar2, "POST");

};

loader1();

stop();

---

at the function loader1 u'll call the loader2 after the function one was loaded successful


hope that help u

This was the way I achieved this in the movie I made the post about =)

However, I was faced with this question again. I have another script which takes around 30 minutes to excecute. Unfortunatly I have to wait until it is finished until I can call other scripts. As far as I know I can't even just send variables to the first script without opening a new window... (maybe using loadvariablesNum??) or loading in new movies on different levels?

hi

30 minutes that is really take along or( u mean 30 seconds?)

ok i have a solution for u

when u call the function that take 30 minute u may want to add another function that check if that function was successful excecuted

u can use setinterval

code:

---

function The30MinutsFunction() {

	//YOUR CODE HERE

	//after this function finish excecuted time add some var

	was_finish = true;

}

function callback() {

	if (was_finish) {

		//now call the other function

		clearInterval(intervalID);

	}

}

var intervalID;

intervalID = setInterval(callback, 10000);

//check it every 10 seconds

The30MinutsFunction();

Yes 30 minutes.

I cannot call another script whilst I am waiting for one to load, that is the problem.

loadVars.send opens a new window and sendAndLoad waits for the the script to fully excecute. While it is possible to *call* one whilst another is excectuing (set interval or just using the timline) only one sendAndLoad seems possible at a time.

[moh_design]

yes the setinterval it's ur choice now

but for what i know that the next function will start after the preview function was success

m1 = function(){
a1 = 1;
trace("m1 was called and finish");
return a1;
}

m2 = function(){
a2 = 2;
trace("m2 was called and finish");
return a2;
}

m1();
m2();

m1 will start and after it's finish the m2 will be start

so u don't need to wait it's just start after the first one was finish from excecuted

The reason I want to call two together is to check the progress of the one that takes 20 minutes.

This doesn't seam possible, and doing them one after the other (even if you do call them at the same time) is pointless.

PS loadVariablesNum also waits for the script to finish executing preventing furhter send and load's to take place.

Hi,

one alternative: change your server code to do both tasks in parallel and return one result in the end

another one: change your server code so that the initial call returns "job started", and further calls either return progress data or a result
