ActionScript File Upload very slow

Question

Hi, My requirement is to upload 5000 images to WAMP server from AIR client. I am using URLRequest to upload the images. The size of each image is about 285 KB. Able to only upload about 300 images only. The server becomes unresponsive and the client stops uploading. This is urgently required. Please let me know how do I finetune for performance/or go about solving this issue.

Thanks Jad

Answer 1

5000 * 285 KB = 1425 MB (or 1.4 GB)

Do you see why the uploading is slow and the server becomes unresponsive?

Use a load-queue - put the image names in an array and load them one by one. Start uploading an image only from the complete event handler of the previous image.

And make sure that the server has enough space to begin with.

Thanks Amar. I just did some cleanup and able to upload upto 450 images. But it just stops there. Not sure whether its an issue at the php/mysql side or at the client(air) end. Any tips from your side...pl let me know.
