Flash Error in Open Source Application

[SK_Shahzad]

Dear friends
We are involved in developing an open source forum application in Open Laszlo. http://code.google.com/p/geniforum/

I am facing following Error
"script in this movie is causing Macromedia Flash Player 8 to run slowly. If it continues to run, you computer may become unresponsive":

Can anyone guide us in this problem plz.

This usually means you have an infinite loop in the laszlo application, or that you're trying to do something which is taking a long time. Reduce the number of views, number of classes, number of Debug.writeln's, etc.

Thanks a lot for the tip - We will look at the application from this perspective. Do you know about some profiling utility in lazlo which can help us in doing so ?
Regarding debug statements ; we are running in solo mode and the debug is set to false in canvas. Do you still suggest removing it.

Okay, if you're running SOLO, then Debug.write statements probably aren't the problem. Look instead for instantiating a huge dataset or many views. Try stripping out the internals of complex views, then adding them back in, one at a time, then see if you still get the "responding slowly" error. This should allow you to zero in on the problem.

There is a profiler available -- see
http://wiki.openlaszlo.org/CallProfiler
for instructions. The profiler is complex, though.

In general, I recommend standalone test applications for each of the important views.
