====== Timeouts ======

There are 2 timeouts involved when loading the OFM Flash component.

  - Settings Timeout : This timeout defines the timeout when loading any __configuration files__ and defaults to 25000ms. It can be configured using a FlashVar named ''OFM_SETTINGS_TIMEOUT''.
  - Map/Server Timeout : This timeout defines the timeout used when __contacting the server (ex.: loading a view)__ and defaults to 25000ms. It can be configured using the System/Timeout tag of the [[.:config_map|map configuration file]].

<note important>
Note on Mozilla-based browsers :

Timeout settings are especially important when using firefox, since it may happen the browser doesn't notify the Flash player when a resource can't be found.  So when you don't add a UI configuration file to your setup, the component may hang for 25 seconds;  To solve this, you can override the ''OFM_SETTINGS_TIMEOUT'' [[flashmap:flashvars|FlashVar]] and set it to a very low value (1000 for example).
