Communication with Java (non-blocking socket)

1

I have a flash animation that communication with Java process through a socket.

I have a while loop that keeps collecting live sensor data from Java from the socket, then draw the sensor data on flash.

But when I run the flash, it just crash / freeze, how do I use multiple thread in flash so one thread is collect data from sensor in an infinite loop, other thread will draw the animation on screen once data is collected?


mySocket = new XMLSocket();

mySocket.onConnect = function(success)
{
    if (success){
        trace('connected');
        sendMsg();
    }
    else
        trace('failure');
}

mySocket.onClose = function()
{
    trace('close');
}

XMLSocket.prototype.onData = function(msg)
{
    trace('data: ' + msg);
}

mySocket.connect("localhost", 9999)

function sendMsg()
{
        var i:Number = 0;
        trace('sendMsg');
        while(true){
            i++;
            mySocket.send('msg-'+ i +'
');
            sleep(1);
        }
}
