Forum ‹ BigDB ‹ Idiom for accessing several databases?

[johnnyk427]

This is more of a best-practices question. I'm loading and saving from/to several different tables, what's the best way to not call the given callback until all operations have succeeded?

Right now i'm chaining each successive database acccess off the success callback of the last one, but it would be nice to do them all in parallel, if there was an easy way to track when they were all finished. Just need a creative use of ActionScript, I think!

I personally use a local variable and function to handle parallelized Player.IO calls.

IE

Code: Select all

function(){
   needscallback1(allready)
   needscallback2(allready)
   needscallback3(allready)
   var toexecute:int = 0
   function allready(){
      if(++toexecute==3){
         //The code that needs to run when parallel execution is done goes here
      
      }
   }
}

Nice, I spotted that method in the samples actually and have been following that as well recently.
