Thanks for your reply Mark > > Why would it matter for the API whether or not event dispatching was asynchronous? Clients still listen for events and hear them; the only difference would be that the stack would get taller on the sync calls. >
The main reason is that I want to give the "user" of the api the ability to add some custom information to the return value of the data model call and make that available in the callback (much like one can add 'stuff' to the AsyncToken returned from e.g. an HTTPService invocation). > If you *really* needed to make ape async behavior, you could have the sync methods use a doLater() method to wait a frame before broadcasting an event. Thanks for the doLater() pointer. I can only find info on UIModel.doLater() in the 1.5 docs of flex. Has something changed in 2.0 in that context. Again, I appreciate people taking the time to get be bootstrapped with flex. Peter
