Re: [Swftools-common] strange behaviour with SWFC

[Benedikt Quirmbach]

Hi Matthias,

thank you for the answer.

Since I'm a simple web designer  with some programming skills I don't  
really understand what you suggested.

I understand that mutex is used to separate different threads on one  
machine.
But I don't know how to do that.

And I'm not really shure that this is the solution.

When the PHP script on the server creates the new SWFs it creates 3  
SWFs in one running.
If these 3 threads would overwrite each other there would not be a new  
SWF (or at least only one, the last).

In the case of my script there are 3 SWFs that can be loaded and that  
run without problems (Animation..).
But the variable texts can not be seen, because the variables are not  
inside.

When I download the same SWFs a little time later (without creating  
new ones), the SWFs are OK with the variable texts.

To give the script more time to ceate the SWFs I set a timer in my  
Flex application. This timer starts after calling the php script to  
create the SWFs.
After 5 seconds it tries to load the new SWFs.
And there are SWFs... but without the variable data...

Could you please explane how to set mutexes?
I would give it a try, but don't know how to do that.

Benedikt
