Workers in AIR

Report · Feb 27, 2014

Hello,

I am working in Flash Pro CS6 to AIR 3.4 for Desktop. I have 4 files that I am referencing using the File class. I then find the modificationDate. Due to a slow network issue, this can freeze up the program about .5 sec per file!

My first attempt at a solution was using the Worker class. However... in the worker, I am unable to use the File class because I need to compile in a .swf (correct me if I'm wrong). I tried using the MessageChannel class to share a FileReference, but it only showed up as an Object in the worker. Is there any solution to this problem?

Thanks in advance

Jake

Hello Again,

Revisiting again, can someone tell me if this is possible? Was I clear enough or do I need to explain something better?

Kind Regards,
Jake
