[Extendflash] Error Because JSFL script is running too long

[Nick Kaayk]

FYI, and in reply to my own question here's a couple of ideas for
avoiding the "Error Because JSFL script is running too long".
 
1 ) use a WindowSWF to trigger the JSFL.  Then you can use setInterval,
or some such, to get around the out-of-time problem; or
2 ) if you call JSFL from the command-line (like in a batch file on a
pc), then the code does not time-out
(http://www.actionscript.org/forums/archive/index.php3/t-49515.html

Hooray!!!

	Hello, 

	I am hitting "A script in the file my_file has been running for
a long time.  Do you want to continue?".  

	I am running a nested loop to check all the elements in all the
frames of all the timelines.  This is taking too long in big FLAs
(hundreds of items in the library). My loop is based upon the Search and
Replace in "Extending Flash MX 2004".

	Can I run an interval in JSFL, so as to (hopefully) avoid this?
Or does anyone have another suggestion for avoiding this "taking too
long" error?

	Many thanks in advance, 

	Nick.
