I'm trying to understand when a remote method invocation will occur during the execution of an action script method. What I've read so far indicates that it's safe to annotate the PendingCall object returned from the invocation because the invocation [I think it is:] won't occur until the calling method has returned.
What I am not clear on is whether it's when the immediately executing method returns, or when the entire method invocation stack returns to the UI event listener loop. Here's an example with numerical time points for illustration: 1: button press happens 2: click handler 'clickHandler' is invoked 3: clickHandler calls 'doRemoteInvocation' 4: doRemoteInvocation calls 'invokeRemote1' 5: invokeRemote1 invokes the actual remote method, decorates the PendingCall returned object 6: invokeRemote1 returns 7: doRemoteInvocation then calls 'invokeRemote2' 8: invokeRemote2 invokes the actual remote method (not the same method that invokeRemote1 invoked), decorates PendingCall object 9: invokeRemote2 returns 10: doRemoteInvocation returns 11: clickHandler returns 12: button click pressing completes What I am guessing happens (based on the statement that there's pretty much only 1 thread running in Flex) is that only at time 12 or after do the actual remote method invocations occur. The documentation that I have read sort of seems like the remote invocations happen at 6 and 9. I'd like to be able to count on them not happening until after 10 at least.... Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
