Hi everyone and Kirupa,
I’m using flash to display shapefiles in statplanet and eventually my own flash based program. I need to implement quite alot of tools but the very first task I have to do is simply load the shapefiles (which consist of a shp file and dbf file) using the vanrijkom classes.
I’ve been using some sample code created by a co developer of stat planet andy woodruff and ran into a code block on one of my shapefiles.
Here is andy’s tutorial which DOES indeed work.
http://www.cartogrammar.com/blog/simple-shapefile-drawing-in-actionscript-3/
My new shapefile is much larger which does not load using the tutorial’s classes. I also can’t upload it here because it exceeds the forum’s limitations. I would be happy to email it to whomever wants to help me on this.
So far, when loading the shapefile, after about 60 seconds, i get an actionscript timeout limit saying that the script has exceeded the 15 second timeout limit. This occurs even after I broke up andy’s code into chunks with timers, as well as changing the publish setting’s script time limit from 15 to 1000 seconds.
Kindest,
Neil
