as3 How to i solve auto reconnect with settimeout? - arrays

Question

I want to connect my url and port from my vector list. I use setTimeout in my reconnect function but my problem is when i use settimeout and click reconnect button settimout is ask 5 times for connection and when connecttion succes after connection is down because settimeout is continue send the request my list for connect and states is broken.
How i solve this problem or have any different way ?
public static function reconnect(serverUrl:String = "", serverPort:int = 0):void {
var nextUri: SocketConnection = urisToTry.next;
test = setTimeout(reconnect, 4000, nextUri.host, nextUri.port);
}
and this is my iteration class
public class UriIterator
{
public var _availableAddresses: Vector.<SocketConnection> = new Vector.<SocketConnection>();
public var currentIndex:int = 0;
public function UriIterator(){
}
public function withAddress(host: String, port: int): UriIterator {
const a: SocketConnection = new SocketConnection(host, port);
_availableAddresses.push(a);
return this;
}
public function get next():SocketConnection {
var address = _availableAddresses[currentIndex];
currentIndex++;
if (currentIndex > _availableAddresses.length - 1)
currentIndex = 0;
return address;
}
}
my list
const urisToTry: UriIterator = new UriIterator()
.withAddress("http://urlone.com", 1211)
.withAddress("http://urltwo.com", 1212)
.withAddress("http://urlthree.com", 1213)
.withAddress("http://urlfour.com", 1214)
...

Answer 1

First, simplify and clean what you have there.
public class UriIterator
{
// You won't gain literally anything from using strong-typed Vector.
// Long variable names make your code harder to read. Use simple ones.
// Another good idea is to make these members private
// so no one else will mess with them from the outside.
private var list:Aray = new Array;
private var index:int = 0;
// If constructor does nothing you might as well omit it.
// It is not prohibited to do it the way you did,
// yet again no gain for unnecessary complications.
public function append(host:String, port:int):void
{
list.push(new SocketConnection(host, port));
}
public function get next():SocketConnection
{
var result:SocketConnection = list[index];
if (++index >= list.length) index = 0;
return result;
}
}
Then.
private var uriList:UriIterator;
uriList = new UriIterator;
uriList.append("http://urlone.com", 1211);
uriList.append("http://urltwo.com", 1212);
uriList.append("http://urlthree.com", 1213);
uriList.append("http://urlfour.com", 1214);
Finally.
private var recId:uint;
// Event handler for refused connection or disconnected socket.
private function onDisconnect(e:Event):void
{
// Dispose of existing/failed connection objects first.
// #TODO
// Just in case.
clearTimeout(recId);
// Now, lets schedule the next connection in 4 seconds.
recId = setTimeout(onReconnect, 4000);
}
private function onReconnect():void
{
// Get the next connection.
var aNext:SocketConnection = uriList.next;
// Put your connection routines here.
// #TODO
}
