Since Flash is event-driven, how about setting it up in such a way that whatever part of your script adds the command to the queue dispatches an event to a listener that then executes that command? That way you avoid recursion, and you also avoid a for() loop that's outside the internal Flash event loop.
Unfortunately, my ActionScript is not proficient enough to know which classes/methods you need to use to interact with Flash's native event queue, but I'm sure someone else on the list could chime in with the right info.

I need a way to avoid recursion, not use it. Ideally: 1. advance to next command. 2. execute command. 3. Wait for command to finish. 4. repeat 1-3 in some way that lets step 1 pop off the call stack while waiting for step 3. There has to be an example floating around somewhere. -Mark -- John Mark Hawley The Nilbog Group 773.968.4980 (cell) _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
