Nope, not viable, just the only way. No way to remove the print dialogue either.
We've all asked Macromedia/Adobe many times for a publicly supported way to pause the thread, and no result has come of it. Since we run in a browser most of the time, I don't think Adobe wants us developers locking the browser up since the Flash Player probably shares the browser thread. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Judah" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Flashcoders mailing list'" <flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com> Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2006 11:50 AM Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Multithreaded AS1 - AS2 - AS3 - AS4 - AS5 Is that a viable way or you just saying that is the only that stops flash execution? If so how do you take advantage of that without popping up a print dialog to the user? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of JesterXL Sent: Wednesday, February 15, 2006 6:46 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Multithreaded AS1 - AS2 - AS3 - AS4 - AS5 Flash Player is single threaded, including the new Flash Player 8.5 which uses AS3.

I think I've read somewhere that AS2 (or AS1) is single threaded. Is that right? Can we use sleep commands in AS3? If not will AS4 be multithreaded or would that prevent it from running on certain devices or platforms?
