Forcing an Update of my textfield

Currently I have a for loop which goes through and draws a really long list of objects.  Each object is contained in its own sprite and as it draws them I wanted to have a text box saying "Ojects" + nObjectsTotalLoaded + " of " + nObjectsTotal + " have been Loaded."  Right now I am timing out because my loops takes so long, but i figured that if I have a textbox updating as it creates each object that it will also fix my problem with timeout.  Let me know what you guys think. I can provide more of my code if needed.

There is know way to force and update inside of a for-loop or while-loop.  Flash doesn't interrupt them.  Maybe you can break you loop into multiple loops.
You can also not draw all the objects at once.  I would suggest you use a Timer or addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, ...). To divide how many object you draw at one time.
But depending on how many objects you have you might want to reduce the number or handle drawing a different way to increase performance.

  • How can I force an update of Core Services?

    Hello!
    I am trying to get MATLAB 2014a to work on my macbook air.
    I have followed all the steps in the troubleshooting guides but I am in need of an update from apple it seems.
    I have been waiting for a week now for the update to appear and it hasn't yet. I have restarted, reinstalled and tried many other tricks like moving the install to a new directory and such.
    https://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/1116607
    Is there any way to force an update, or do I just have to wait?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks everyone for the many solutions.
    I ended up un-selecting all the songs in library(edit->select all, then right click and uncheck), setting the ipod to "update checked songs only", then syncing which removed songs.
    Then select all songs again, re-sync and solved.
    Don't forget to undo the "update checked songs only" option.
    I think the manual solution above may have been easier, but only read that solution now.

  • I have been using firefox on this computer for four years. last night you forced an update, and now i get a message saying it isnt possible to use firefox wtf

    i have been using firefox on my computer for four years. now you force an update i didnt even want, cuz everything was FINE already, and now if i try to use firefox, it says it cant even be used on my computer. i want to watch my shows, i dont want to spend hours resetting things up or waiting for an email to tell me what im supposed to do. why in hell do you force updates when things are working just f-ing fine, that make everything worse, why cant anything that works ever just be left alone to work.

    hello, the last version that was compatible with os x 10.4.11 is firefox 3.6.28 - you can download it from here: [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]

  • Does clearing cache & data in Google Services Framework really force OTA updates?

    While waiting for Big Red to push the OTA 4.3 update to their Samsung GS3 customers, I read somewhere that clearing the cache + data + selecting Force Stop in the Google Services Framework app [settings>applications manager>all] before checking the device software update status [settings>about phone>software update>check new] would force available OTA updates to the device; however, after repeated attempts, I've been unsuccessful achieving that objective. In fact, after doing all that AND removing both the battery + sim card for 30-60 seconds, the date/time stamp in the update status continues to read the most recent status check.
    Though I've seen several claims of success doing this on different devices, has anyone else in the VZW Community tried this and has gotten a successful 'force update' on their GS3?

    No, that will not force an update, especially one that does not exist.

  • How can I force the update of items from my local iTunes media onto cloud?

    I have a complete library of music in iTunes on my Mac. When I create

  • [solved] How does the forced Dropbox update work?

    Seems to everyone agrees: The new Dropbox version (3.0.3) is awful. See comments there: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dropbox/
    What makes it even more nasty: Even if you don't intend to update, it will update itself. Luckily, there is a hack in the wiki:
    rm -rf ~/.dropbox-dist
    install -dm0 ~/.dropbox-dist
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/dr … uto_Update
    But I wonder:
    How is Dropbox even able to force an update without having root rights?
    As far as I can see, it is connected to Dropbox running in the user directory:
    /usr/bin/dropboxd is:
    #!/bin/sh
    # Copyright 2008-2013 Dropbox, Inc.
    # Environment script for the dropbox executable.
    PAR=$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$0")")
    OLD_LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
    export OLD_LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    exec "$PAR"/dropbox "$@"
    where PAR just points to the current user directory.
    So exec just starts /home/carl/dropbox for me? I don't understand, there is no /home/carl/dropbox in my files!
    So does anyone understand what dropbox is doing? Specially concerned the forced auto-update.
    [edit]that assumption regarding the path was wrong. as /usr/bin/dropboxd is a symlink to /opt/dropbox, it starts /opt/dropbox/dropbox.  see comment #3[/edit]
    Last edited by Carl Karl (2014-12-13 11:47:34)

    OK, one step further:
    On my next installation, I was to slow to stop the forced auto-update and now I see:
    there is ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd including:
    #!/bin/sh
    PAR=$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$0")")
    exec "$PAR/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-3.0.3/dropboxd" "$@"
    and in fact there is~/.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-3.0.3/dropboxd
    which includes
    #!/bin/sh
    # Copyright 2008-2013 Dropbox, Inc.
    # Environment script for the dropbox executable.
    PAR=$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$0")")
    OLD_LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
    export OLD_LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    exec "$PAR"/dropbox "$@"
    like the old /usr/bin/dropboxd before, and in fact, there is a whole directory ~/.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-3.0.3/ which includes the executable ~/.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-3.0.3/dropbox.
    So the forced upgrade is possible because the software runs in the user-directory.
    I still don't understand, how that is called by the "dropboxd" command, as
    $ which dropboxd
    /usr/bin/dropboxd
    and that still seems to execute ~/dropbox as described in #1. How is that script able to refer to ~/.dropbox-dist/* ?
    @Jasonwryan:
    Yes, I know, thanks anyway.
    I need Dropbox for work as we use it there to share files. I don't use it for private stuff and sensible files are protected by encfs.
    And understanding how an non-root-update is possible is interesting anyway. I hope that other software isn't inspired by passing by the repos that way....

  • Force SW Update to reinstall??

    I have a very quick (I hope) question at the bottom of this background info.
    The other day, I ran SW Update, and saw the update for Java R6 1.0, Quicktime 7.3.1 and the latest Security Update 2007-09.
    In the middle of this (during the Quicktime install), I did something I know I'm not supposed to do <DOH, slap to the forehead>. I plugged in a Flash Drive. Instant Kernel Panic occurs here....
    So... after rebooting (successfully, with no warnings other than the standard "your mac crashed, send a log to apple?" dialog, I ran SW Update again. It says there are no updates available. Log shows that Java was installed, but not QuickTime or the Security Update.
    If I launch Quicktime, it shows a version of 7.3.1, meaning that it thinks it got updated. But I'm not sure it got completely updated (if that's possible)
    Here's the question: Is there a way for FORCE Software Update to reapply those three updates completely, so I can make sure they're applied correctly?
    TIA, Steve

    No. Download them and install them again.
    There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
    It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
    So before you do anything else:
    If you can, make a full backup first.
    Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
    Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
    2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
    At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
    3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
    If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
    Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
    Now proceed as follows:
    4. Close all applications.
    5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
    7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
    8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
    If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
    9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them 10.4.10. compliant. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
    N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
    Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
    If you are updating Safari (or just have):
    Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed 10.4.11 and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 uses Safari 3.0.4 which is not a beta. If Safari 3.0.4 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
    Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 2 when running 10.4.11 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.0.4 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail and Dashboard Widgets etc also rely.
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them.
    Additional tips on software installation here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
    Last but not least, you should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11 or Leopard, that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2007-009.

  • "Forcing" an update on 3Gs

    I've got a 3GS running ios 4.2.1 - it won't update using itunes - just keeps saying that it is up to date. Is there anyway to "force " an update?  I'm using itunes 11.2.2.3 on Windows 7... please help

    Hi
    Just searching through the forum and found that out.  Thank you for a quick reply...  I don't suppose you know of an "on-screen" button for this model (like the ones on later ios - which is the only reason I want to update it)  I only use the phone as an ipod in the car.
    Thanks again

  • Recently forced to update Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) from Mountain Lion to Yosemite. Performance is awful. Is there any way to change back/downgrade?

    (Sorry if this isn't the correct category)
    I have always been a fan of Apple and almost always love Firmware updates. OS X 10.9 and 10.10, however, I do not like.
    I recently spent a lot of time going through all the troubleshooting steps Apple Support makes you go through before I called them to get my problems fixed as quickly as possible (no point wasting both our time). I had encountered scepticism in the past that maybe my problems were because I was running 10.8 and so to prove that it was in fact a hardware problem, I updated. AppleCare finally agreed to replace my logic board (for a second time) which fixed the performance problems I was having. The process took hours and I ended up being right the entire time.
    I originally had my own little reasons for not wanting to update but decided I would try Yosemite since I didn't really have much of a choice at this point. I have now given it a good month and have concluded that this OS version is completely useless to me and near unusable.
    A small list of the more annoying problems:
    Photoshop crashes and/or needs restarting constantly
    my Wacom Tablet doesn't function properly (or at all
    my computer lags when I open Dashboard or App Exposé
    I get the spinning beach ball for a good five seconds at times almost exclusively when using a feature of my computer such as Finder, Pages, iTunes, etc.
    computer feels like it is lacking in specs
    Additionally, there are a dozen little things about the way Yosemite behaves and looks that I find hard to ignore. I WOULD ignore these things if my software worked properly.
    Yes, I did try reinstalling programs and drivers; no it didn't help.
    I paid for a computer running Mountain Lion because I knew I could do my art on it, play the games I wanted, and do word processing the way I liked. Is there any way at all (no matter how long or difficult a process) to downgrade back to 10.8? And specifically without voiding my warranty?
    I really don't want to be forced back to buying Windows but I spent a lot of money on something that is now not functioning in a way I can use it ):
    TL;DR
    had 10.8. needed to update to 10.10 so AppleCare would believe that I had hardware problems. Hardware is now replaced and I need 10.8 back without voiding my warranty.

    My problem is the laptop came with Mountain Lion on it and I spent 2.5 DAYS in recovery trying to redownload the OS to install.
    snip
    That took about an hour and after the recovery finally opened I was prompted with downloading "Lion" instead of "Mountain Lion" I proceeded. It installed overnight. Now my Macbook has Lion on it and the only way to get Mountain Lion back is in the App Store for $20....
    This does not make much sense if the Laptop had Mountain Lion on it from new. Internet Recovery downloads the current version of the OS that the machine was built with, are you sure that you did not upgrade to ML from Lion?
    If you did you can redownload Mountain Lion for no charge.

  • Brothers credit journey of BRUTE FORCE (cont)UPDATE

    UPDATE: Brother got AA on his Barclays Apple card today. They called him and said that even though he pays statement in full and on time, over 100 inquiries is simply too much and closed his account. On another note, he raised his Lowes to 12k and Exon&Chevron to 4k each today. If anyone doesn't remember my last post about my brothers "spree", here it is: http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/Brothers-crazy-credit-journey-PART-II/td-p/3815607 I no longer consider his journey to be a spree, it's more like brute force. He applies for about 20+ cards daily (including any prime cards, etc) and gets what he gets. He's very adamant about it and probably hasn't gone more than 3 days without applying for a few cards for the past 8 months or so. Today he messaged me that he got in with a Chase British Airways VS $3500 limit & 15.99%APR and some type of a Discover card. He probably has over 100 inquiries (last 6 months) on each bureau and 60-70+ new accounts reporting in the last 6 months. His next goal is to get in with AMEX & Citi and his overall goal is to reach the $1,000,000 available credit mark, he is currently at around $200k-$250k. I'm surprised myself, apparently applying once a day for every credit card ever works, haha.

  • Tax Update and Forced Tax update

    Hi all,
    Plz can anyone explain me what is the difference between Tax Update and Tax Forced Update.
    Thank you,
    sam

    Wow, 2006. I'm guessing you are either not paying people from your system or one of your functional staff is manually modifying the tax tables. Hopefully it's the first option.
    At our facility we apply tax updates once a year starting in late October or November. The exception to the rule is if one of our functional leads identifies something in a tax update that is critical and must be applied now.
    You should start by downloading all of the tax updates. For the on-line objects apply them in order to your demo environment. For the COBOL, DMS and SQR build a staging directory for each type of program. Save programs to these directories in the order that the tax updates were delivered (i.e. a program modified in 2007A might be overlaid with the same program modified in 2007B). After that just go through the tedious process of identifying your customizations between what you currently have and what is in your staging directories (or demo database for the on-line objects). We typically create a third set of directories where we merge our customizations in with the new delivered code. This will eventually be moved to our test environment. Create a separate environment to do all of your testing from. Take your time.
    Good luck.

  • Iphone 5 refurbished, will I be forced to update IOS?

    My iPhone 5 has IOS 6.1.2 installed on it and the power button has stopped working. It is being replaced under warranty. When I set the replacement phone up from the restore from my original phone will I be able to install the same IOS (6.1.2) or will I be forced into IOS 7?

    well, you point out a common complaint-in which i totally agree. i dont really have an answer insomuch as you point out the "solution" /dilemma. i hate this about Apple and their updates. i was fine with current ios for ipad. the new 7 is a battery hog and somewhat memeory hog too. ihad had a few crashes already and some apps are unstable as it's so new. and it's odd to me that it takes longer to recharge the battery. there's other things like apps that seemingly open and close quickly… for some reason this is by design. and it's actually causing motion sickness in some ppl.
    and god forbid u can easily change font size in a safari email!
    guess this is what keeps IT ppl with a job…
    my advice today is do NOT upgrade IF u can stand it.
