Hello, I'm trying to rewrite a web chat client written in Java, which is performing the following in its main loop:
I have a variable called "url" and if after waiting TIMEOUT seconds it is still unset, then I just retrieve the URL http://myserver/mychat?event=keepalive, so that the chat server knows, that the client is still connected. BUT if during that waiting period the url-variable gets set (for example, when the user types smth. into a textfield) I want to interrupt the waiting IMMEDIATELY and retrieve the URL http://myserver/mychat?event=chat&args=blah+blah. In the Java client I do this by using the wait() and notifyAll(). Is there a way to do this in ActionScript? I.e. some MovieClip with LoadVars should sleep for TIMEOUT seconds (so that it doesn't poll and waste the CPU) and wake up when needed?
