AS3 Workers, End of File errors
Hi,
Has anybody ran into end of file errors when using the MessageChannel
classes with workers?
Sometimes (randomly) the message that are sent over the MessageChannel are
empty. Which causes Error #2030 Unexpected End of File.

I ran the test. .shareable must have some other special magic in it. I
saved them to a local vector before passing them through the channel to
keep reference on them to avoid being GC'd. Still got some empty messages.

Interesting idea. Tomorrow, I will add them to a local array before
sending them over the channel, and see what happens.

Any chance the byte array was getting garbage collected and making
sharable prevents it from being collected?

Ya, positive. After switching to sharable, problem was solved. Before that
most of the time it just worked, no problem. Just randomly would get zero
length byte arrays.
I'm using air 4.0 btw.

I use MessageChannel all the time for months, and I have never encountered
such a problem, are you sure the bytearray you sent is not 0 in length?

Looks like the fix was ByteArray.shareable = true, on all messages being
sent over the channel. I hadn't thought that was necessary, as I was
expecting a copy of the ByteArray would happen. And 99% of the time, it
did. Just randomly wouldn't send it.. which is weird, but anyways,
shareable = true solved my issue and it's running stable now.

Please do tell us when you found the root cause, thanks.

Ya, I've tried that, the thing is that the ByteArray.length is zero.

bytesarray.position = 0 before read again?
