setInterval is a handy way to break scope.
Have the AS method called by JS set an interval for let's say 10ms, and
then have the method assigned to the interval take care of business.
Javascript will be free and Flash will keep on going.

It is the beginning of this process that I want to be made asynchronous.
In the beginning I am calling a flash function from JS. That is the
piece I am trying to get to be asynchronous.

You could make use of ExternalInterface.addCallback. Therefore the JS
function you call with ExternalInterface.call starts some process off
then
returns straight away. When your process is done it calls your registered
flash callback. Therefore you end up with asynchronous.
All said and done, why not call the webservice straight from flash?

I have a web app that uses a flash movie as a proxy to a web service.
Therefore, I have javascript calling flash methods that in turn make
requests to a web service and then route the response back to
javascript.
I don't need my javascript functions to wait on this calls, but
ExternalInterface is inherently synchronous. And to my surprise I have
found that a flash method which does nothing but make a web service
request can take 100ms or more. This is unacceptably slow, but
especially so since my javascript code has to hang while the flash
method does its business.
Does anyone have any experience with this issue, or can provide a
workaround or hint as to how I might make these calls asynchronous?
thanks in advance.
