doublefx / easyworker Goto Github PK

I use your library in a quite big project, and it's very handy !
However it doesn't always works when I deploy it without compiler option "optimize=false" (while it works in debug mode).
Unfortunately air package size is much more bigger when optimize=false, is there any way I can remove this option and still get the library work ? On some project, it works fine...

I have a maven project that I am using FlexMojos to compile. When I specify the framework to be loaded as an RSL I receive the following runtime error. Im not sure if this is more of a FlexMojos issue or not, but maybe you and @chrisdutz could take a look? I've included the output of the error, as well as my pom. If I comment out the type configuration for the two dependencies under "RSL Dependencies", easyWorker works fine.

Hi Frédéric,
When I export an application using easyWorker it seems like threads are never responding. I don't know if they are ran or not, but I am sure that I never get the result. Try publishing https://github.com/riadvice/easyWorker-ActiveAIRCord/ with Flash Builder and run the application.

I used Adobe Scout but it seems like it does not handle workers.
Should I build the application using GradleFX or FlexMojos if it is a Flash Builder issue ? Normally they use the same Flex jar compiler.

Any idea ?

Hi,
I tried using the pure as3 branch, but still got this error. Isn't this a Flex related class?
Cheers,
Timo

When I load a ByteArray from a database its content is set to null. The other problem I have is when I add a property to a Model inheriting class I get them null.

In your sample there is a TermVo.
But If I pass this value object:

_thread.start(new TermsVo(1,2));

and in the worker try to cast the args[0] to TermsVo:

const values:TermsVo = args[0] as TermsVo;

the values is equal to null.

with hard casting?

const values:TermsVo = TermsVo(args[0]);

ThreadRunner dispatchError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Object@95223d1 to workers.vo.TermsVo.

What I do wrong?

My worker is in a external swc file which is used in the main app compiled in the main swf.
I'm using easyWorker as an external swc lib in the main app.

Adobe FlashBuilder 4.7

VerifyError: Error #1014: Class mx.core::DebuggableWorker could not be found.

The "addition" example (TermsVo) does not work when debugging from FB 4. While I realize this is not exactly a supported IDE with Apache Flex 4.14, I'm not sure if this applies to all later versions of FB. This happens both debugging within AIR (16.0) and Flash (latest as of today), but the thread works fine on BOTH platforms when not attempting to attach the debugger (using Run).

Running the example, the Start button is disabled with thread "Running" and no result displayed. (debug mode) If not running in debug mode, the Start button is enabled and a result is displayed when clicked. Couldn't find any mention of this being a known issue anywhere.

Note - due to the broken swc download I had to compile the library myself; if doing something wrong there is a possible cause of the problem let me know and I'll look into it further.

A try easyWorker (web/desktop/mobile) with a simple example, but I always got this error message:

I am trying to make a Worker working with a mobile project. I am using Flex 4.13.0 and Air 14.
On the desktop it's working but on the mobilepone I don't understand why but it's not working.

Worker.isSupported give me TRUE, so that should be ok.
But when I am trying, it's like the worker never get the chance to start.

I am on FlashBuilder 4.7. I also tried FDT (free version) with the same result. With IntelliJ I get a debug class error, so I didn't try much on it.

I have this (from you example):

private function createWorker():void {              
    _thread = new Thread(ComplexWorker, "complexRunnable");

    _thread.addEventListener(ThreadStateEvent.THREAD_STATE, onThreadState);
    _thread.addEventListener(ThreadProgressEvent.PROGRESS, thread_progressHandler);
    _thread.addEventListener(ThreadResultEvent.RESULT, thread_resultHandler);
    _thread.addEventListener(ThreadFaultEvent.FAULT, thread_faultHandler);

    //Start a Thread in Pause, click on Start to resume it.
    _thread.start(new TermsVo(1, 2));

    trace ('_thread.isNew: ' + _thread.isNew);
    trace ('_thread.isPaused: ' + _thread.isPaused);
    trace ('_thread.isPausing: ' + _thread.isPausing);
    trace ('_thread.isResuming: ' + _thread.isResuming);
    trace ('_thread.isRunning: ' + _thread.isRunning);
    trace ('_thread.isStarting: ' + _thread.isStarting);
    trace ('_thread.isTerminated: ' + _thread.isTerminated);
    trace ('_thread.isTerminating: ' + _thread.isTerminating);
    trace ('_thread.state: ' + _thread.state);
    trace ('_thread.name: ' + _thread.name);    
    trace ('Worker.isSupported: ' + Worker.isSupported);
}

The traces give me this :
_thread.isNew: true
_thread.isPaused: false
_thread.isPausing: false
_thread.isResuming: false
_thread.isRunning: false
_thread.isStarting: false
_thread.isTerminated: false
_thread.isTerminating: false
_thread.state: new
_thread.name: complexRunnable
Worker.isSupported: true

The onThreadState event never fire.

I spend hours trying to understand and reading everything i can on internet.
I tried to add -swf-version=26 and -optimize=false but nothing works.

If you have any hint to share I will be very happy.

Thank you,
Seb

im using some fonts im Embedding via [Embed] tags
[ im embedding fonts as a symbol from another SWF ]

the worker way of doing it would be to use:
Worker.current.isPrimordial
but so far it seems it wont work ( im scouting the app and it is allocating memory on parseTag method )
so, how do i prevent fonts from embedding on the worker thread?
or:
how do i check if the code is running on the worker or the thread?
thanks.

EDIT: i worked around it by loading the fonts using a Loader

I have to create worker and use it in a
SQLConnection. So the multiple worker solution is not good for me.
How can I use again a thread, when it's result event is dispatched?
If I trace the state of the thread in the event handler method, the result is: started

Hi Frédéric,

At first I would like to say thank you for the greate stuff you provided!

Unfortunately, I have an issue I can't resolve. I'm using the GraniteDS calsses inside worker. Everything works well except one thing. When I try to create org.granite.math.BigDecimal I get this error

[Fault] exception, information=ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable org.granite.math::assert is not defined.

Due to the code of BigDecimal references to plain function org.granite.math::assert that is somehow not seen. I can't pass this name as extraDeps due to assert has Function type and not Class and defined like this.

package org.granite.math {
function assert(value:Boolean, message:String = null):void {
//...
}
}

Is it possible to somehow make it work?
Thanx in advance.

Hi Frédéric

Have you had any issues with ReferenceErrors? I'm seeing the following two errors when trying to use easyWorker when embedded assets in the main swf.

Worker 2: [Fault] exception, information=ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable PBPickingCollider_RayTriangleKernelClass is not defined.

Worker 2: [Fault] exception, information=ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable MC_TestFLV is not defined.

PBPickingCollider_RayTriangleKernelClass is a pixelbender embed that is part of the away3d library:

public class PBPickingCollider extends PickingColliderBase implements IPickingCollider
{
[Embed("/../pb/RayTriangleKernel.pbj", mimeType="application/octet-stream")]
private var RayTriangleKernelClass:Class;

and MC_TestFLV is a MovieClip that is embedded in a swc that is included in the project. other than removing the embedded assets do you know of anyway to fix this issue?

Hi Frédéric
I got the same issuse as this post:#3
I can get it worked by adding the compiler option -optimize=false,By I want to optimize the swf by the complier.So I change the code in Thread.as:
const file:FileReference = new FileReference();
file.save(swfBytes, "Worker.swf");
Save the swf in debug mode.Embed the swf.
create the worker by swf bytes:_worker = createWorkerFromSWF(swfBytes,workerDomain);
But it does not work in release version,
Any Idea? Thanks..

Hi,
There any way to use an ArrayCollection in a worker?
I know that is not a good practice to do it, but I would like to pass a complex custom object to the worker and it has a lot of ArrayCollection

Thank you very much

When building the library with "Flex 4.12.1 AIR 14" I get the following message

1017: The definition of base class DebuggableWorker was not found.

Hello!

First of all thank you for great library, it's really very useful and easy to use.

I'm trying to use the worker to download data from URL and save it to disk.

I create a thread like

thread = new Thread(FileDownloadWorker, "fileDownloadRunnable", true);

When I first call

thread.start(url, nativePath)

everything is fine, and I dispatch the result with

dispatcher.dispatchResult(url) 

and get the result outside the thread.

But when I then try to download another file in the same way calling

thread.start(anotherUrl, anotherNativePath)

nothing happens. I get no errors, but no results at the same time.

Am I doing something wrong?
