It is by far my most favorite and valuable application that I own.

When I say I feel guilty it's because Ido, I bought my first version of SS long ago and have seen many releases and updates and beta builds. Yet I have yet to pay a dime more than my initial investment besides some custom work by Tim.

I just want you guys to know that and maybe others feel the same way, that I really don't mind paying for new major releases as they come out or every few versions or so. SS has done so well for me and I never want this tool to die off due to it not being funded enough.

I know things are slow in the Flash world, but it still lives strong here with me even using older versions which are more than capable of producing applications that I create. This is probably true for a lot of people as not all the latest and greatest new Flash features are super useful, but nice to have.

I remember at one point you guys mentioned changing the pay structure for the application and maybe you should rethink that.

Does anyone reading this agree or disagree?

Keep up the good work guys.

P.S I sent an email for latest beta build but no response, and I always get a response, which worries me. ]]> Coffee Lounge jlsyzsin http://www.northcode.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10860 ssCore.ADO.execSQL freezes the app http://www.northcode.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10859&goto=newpost Fri, 17 May 2013 18:25:42 GMT I have an application that uses an MDB over the network to store data.

The application is run by multiple users and at times the database is accessed by more than one, which causes a success=false. I do a couple of retries when this happens, with a delay, and everything works fine.

In one setup, at times, ssCore.ADO.execSQL just freezes; This happens more than a couple of times in an hour! Since the calls are made synchronously, It doesn't get to go to the next line of code to check for the success, and the app becomes unresponsive.

Code:

ssDebug.trace("Q2");

ret = ssCore.ADO.execSQL({sql:SQLString});

ssDebug.trace("Q3");

This shows Q2, but never gets to show Q3.

Has anyone faced any such issue? This happens for very basic SELECTs and for regular UPDATEs. I left it for a while, thinking it will recover and return some description, but it didn't. Is there a way to debug this inside the ADO plugin?

This probably works. But when I cancel the folder browser, the error function is not called.

And If that is not the way asynchronous mode works, then how do i check if the folder browser is cancelled? ]]> SWF Studio V3 Nishan11 http://www.northcode.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10858 Hi Tim! http://www.northcode.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10857&goto=newpost Thu, 09 May 2013 03:45:04 GMT Hi Tim!

Haven't done much Flash in several years...thought about my favorite software tool tonight and thought I'd check in! Sucks that Flash is not the technology centerpiece it once was. :(

Hope life is going well for you!!

Hi all

I am currently looking at implementing AlivePDF in my project so that I can format the reports the way I want them (with photos), the thing is once the report is created as a PDF file, I want the program to send it to their default printer without them having to go through any printer selection/options again.

Anyone have a suggestion as to how this could be done? The PDF will have images, etc. on them - in the past I have had issues creating print jobs directly from the application using the PrintJob() process (Images are grabbed from an Access database), I was never able to get the images to show on the reports and therefore currently I have removed this ability to enter images from the application. However, reading the AlivePDF documentation, I now may be able to add this back in (yet to test it of course), but I just want to the user to select a report and click print and it does the rest in the background.

So the created PDF has to be sent to the printer, so I am not sure how I either send it to print, or read it back in and then send it to the printer (obviously whichever works the fastest and will give the least headaches). I then would delete the PDF file that was created.

I hope I am making sense :)

Thanks in advance for your help.
