In case you didn't know we're only holding 1 360|Flex this year.

No West Coast (San Jose) event this year, so if you're on the fence about attending a Flex event, don't miss out. 

We've got a ton of Adobe engineers from the Flex team (flash builder and SDK), and more than 50 sessions in all. There's something for everyone from RIM PLaybook development, Air for Android, Lots of Flex 4.5 (if you've been to a spring 360|Flex you might remember big announcements usually come with those events... just sayin')

Tons of hands-on stuff, all of which of course is included in the reg price, including away3d, Flex 101, Air for Android, and more

Check out the schedule if you're still on the fence :) http://360flex.com/schedule

"communitymatters" is good for 15% off and flights to denver should be pretty cheap :) 

Also I can't recall when the meetings are but each UG is free to raffle off two free passes is they like.

Hope to see some SilvaFUG'ers in Denver next month!

The best way is to post to the silvafug-events-list@... and silvafug@yahoogroups.com lists and that way people would respond directly to you. You can drop the company name and just provide the location to obfiscate things if you want.
 
James will be a great asset on everything so build a relationship with him and he will also be able to connect you with the best guy to address your specific problem. If you are on the prerelease for 4.5 post a question there as all the engineers see it ;)

Hi Keith,

How are things going?  Hopefully you are enjoying your retirement from the SilvaFUG group and work is keeping you busy (which I am sure that it is). 

So I wanted to ask you if you could assist me in posting a job opening at my company. I've attached a Word document with the details.

I'm having fun working on Flex 4 right now doing really challenging work. James Ward will be visiting my company in a couple of weeks and I am hoping he can help us with the performance issues we are facing right now.  If you happen to know of a service Adobe provides which can help with performance related issues please let me know.  I know about the Adobe Consulting Group but I just need to get consulting time with the Flex developers at Adobe or anyone with experience who can talk to me about optimization techniques. 

Have a great weekend and I'll talk to you soon.

Hi there,

I posted this a few weeks ago and since then have talked to several people who
are in this group who suggested that I post here again so I am going to give
this another shot! :)

I have a client seeking a person with very good Flash Actionscript 3.0 skills.
HTML5 is part of the job but if you are entry level in it but CAN PICK IT UP
fast, that is ok too. This is like a UI position/ developer position. Job
description is below.

Contract-to-hire position, or possible perm for the perfect person. W-2.
Milpitas is the location. Good company. Small company where you can make a
bigger difference, make a bigger mark. Sorry, no H-1's.

If there is interest, please email me your phone number and resume.

Remember, the job description below is for the perfect person but if you are a
bit more junior, have a couple of years in the technologies listed & have a
recent college degree in computer science or something similar, that is ok too!

Thanks!

Subject: Flex performance question (saving large data to a file)
henry_navarro
Send Email Send Email
 
Hello,

We have a scenario where about 100MB worth of bitmap data gathered by our Flex app from the web cam needs to be saved to a local file (no network delays involved, just I/O).  The data is first compressed down to about 30MB before being written to a file with a custom format.

From our testing, saving 30MB takes about 30 seconds.  Since ActionScript is single-threaded, the Flex application is blocked (showing an our glass or some spinner) for that much time, and the user is unable to do anything with the app during this.  Hardware-based solution such as using solid state drives has been tried.  The option of creating a multi-threaded native process that will gather the web cam data and save to the file (with the Flex app's coordination) is being pursued as well.

Is there a way to bring down the file save duration to 8 seconds or less? (8 being the approximate industry standard in UX design for keeping the user's attention, to my knowledge)
Also interested if you think we may have reached the current limits of technology.

Any inputs would be great.

Thanks,
Henry

Are you using an instance of the FileReference class to do the saving? The docs says it's non-blocking, and supported for 100MB.

The FileReference.upload()FileReference.download()FileReference.load() and FileReference.save() functions are nonblocking. 

These functions return after they are called, before the file transmission is complete 

Are you listening to the progress and IOError events? If so, what are you hearing?
Are you keeping the fileReference object in scope for the whole of the save process?

If not, what are you doing?
Send us code?

If you're using the File class then you must be creating an AIR app - are you? Or are you creating an web-app (that runs in the the Flash Player)?

Are you listening to the progress and IOError events? If so, what are you hearing?

p.s. - here is the reference: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/FileReference.html#save()
The file reference's save() method can be used to save a variety of data types from memory to local disk.
