So I assume player 7 was single threaded. I don't know the status on 8 or 8.5.

I have read in this forum that someone loosely coined the phrase "Flash is a single
thread app", it's hard to imagine something as high performance and intricate as
Flash to be a single-threaded app.
So I started to take the above statement to mean that the Actionscript VM executes all the code in a sequential fashion but that Flash player itself is multithreaded, is that a right assumption?
And what about code that are asynchronous in nature, such as sound playing ( new Sound(), onSoundComplete), server-side call return (such as LoadVars, XML.onLoad)? Are these all happening in the single thread of code execution?
Looks like a book on Flash and AVM Internal would be nice. :)
