    <p>In Adobe AIR 1.5, I'm using URLLoader to upload a video in 1 MB chunks. It uploads 1 MB, waits for the Event.COMPLETE event, and then uploads the next chunk. The server-side code knows how to construct the video from these chunks.</p> <p>Usually, it works fine. However, sometimes it just stops without throwing any errors or dispatching any events. This is an example of what is shown in a log that I create:</p> <pre><code>Uploading chunk of size: 1000000 HTTP_RESPONSE_STATUS dispatched: 200 HTTP_STATUS dispatched: 200 Completed chunk 1 of 108 Uploading chunk of size: 1000000 HTTP_RESPONSE_STATUS ... </code></pre> <p>etc...</p> <p>Most of the time, it completes all of the chunks fine. However, sometimes, it just fails in the middle: </p> <pre><code>Completed chunk 2 of 108 Uploading chunk of size: 1000000 </code></pre> <p>... and nothing else, and no network activity.</p> <p>Through debugging, I can tell that it does successfully call urlLoader.load(). When it fails, it just seems to stall, calling load(), and then calling the UIComponent's callLaterDispatcher() and then nothing.</p> <p>Does anyone have any idea why this could be happening? I'm setting up my URLLoader like this:</p> <pre><code>urlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY; urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, chunkComplete); urlLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioErrorHandler); urlLoader.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, securityErrorHandler); urlLoader.addEventListener(HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_RESPONSE_STATUS, responseStatusHandler); urlLoader.addEventListener(HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS, statusHandler); urlLoader.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler); </code></pre> <p>And I'm re-using it for each chunk. No events get called when it doesn't succeed, and urlLoader.load() doesn't throw any exceptions. When it succeeds, HTTP_RESPONSE_STATUS, HTTP_STATUS, and PROGRESS events are dispatched.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Edit: One thing that might be helpful is that, we have the same upload functionality implemented in .NET. In .NET, the request.GetResponse() method sometimes throws an exception, complaining that the connection was closed unexpectedly. We catch the exception if this happens, and try that chunk again, until it succeeds. I'm looking to implement something similar here, but there are no exceptions being thrown or error events being dispatched.</p> <p>More detailed code example below. The URLLoader is setup as described above. The readAgain variable just makes it skip reading a new set of bytes in the file stream (ie: it tries to send the old one again) ... however, it never catches any exceptions, because none are ever thrown.</p> <pre><code>private function uploadSegment():void { .... prepare byte array, setup url ... // Create a URL request var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(); urlRequest.url = _url + "?" + paramStr; urlRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST; urlRequest.data = byteArray; urlRequest.useCache = false; urlRequest.requestHeaders.push(new URLRequestHeader('Cache-Control', 'no-cache')); try { urlLoader.load(urlRequest); } catch (e:Error) { Logger.error("Failed to upload chunk. Caught exception. Trying again."); readAgain = true; uploadSegment(); return; } readAgain = false; } </code></pre>

    2. COAnd... A little more - look at the URL in the case where no events are firing, etc... Could there be an error there?

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
