Polygon.contains throws a script timeout error

PriyaRam — Tue, 04 Jun 2013 15:37:59 GMT

The Polygon.contains method throws a script timeout error for certain polygons . I'm using esri flex viewer 2.5 and please let me know, how i can get around the issue.

for(var p:Number =0; p < _polyResult.rings.length; p++)
{
 var _polygonSingleR:Polygon = new Polygon();
 _polygonSingleR.rings = [];
 _polygonSingleR.rings.push(_polyResult.rings);
 _polygonSingleR.spatialReference = _spatialReference;
     
              for(var q:Number =0; q < _polyResult.rings.length; q++)
  {
    if(p != q)
  {
  var _arrMapPoints:Array = _polyResult.rings;
                var _temp:Number = 0;
  for(var r:Number =0; r < _arrMapPoints.length; r++)
 {
   var _mapPoint:MapPoint = _arrMapPoints as MapPoint;
        
   if(_polygonSingleR.contains(_mapPoint))
   {
   _temp++;
   }  }
       
              if(_temp == _arrMapPoints.length)
  {
        _arrValidatedGaps.push(_polyResult.rings);
  }
  }
 }
 }

I found, that it is not the polygon.contains method , but rather a long running process, which is causing the flash time out error. Possibly reducing the number of steps will resolve the problem. is there a way to reduce the number of for loops(1st and 2nd ),since it seems redundant only for doing a p!=q Any help is appreciated.

What is the use case here? What is that code block supposed to be checking?

it is supposed to find the gaps between polygons.
