Lock down the important bits of your
interface, set the cursor to busy, display a processing animation… and
revert everything on a result. It is after all a web/network application J Unfortunately, you’re asking fora
change in the Flash Player, not in Flex as such. Who knows, perhaps Flash Player
8 a.k.a. Maelstrom will fulfill your requirement for multi-threading! I don’t know nearly enough to even
guess if they possibly might consider toying with the idea some time in the
next 3 releases –grin– Good luck! Robert From: Carson Hager

the client-side; after all, it isn’t just HTML and _javascript_ any more J From: Carson Hager
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] There are plenty of occasions where weare
using web services for something other than data feeds. For example,
there are plenty of business rule checks that we need to perform during the
course of some application logic, the results of which will determine the path
within conditional logic. We need to do server processing to get a responseto
our business rule checks and remoting is not an option due to the proprietary
nature of the binary protocol and the need for our app to run outside of the
firewall. This would be ridiculous to do in an asynch fashion. Only
having asynch capability in Flex is yet again another feather in its Hello
World cap. This is a major issue if it is indeed the case. I appreciate your help but I really don't
understand how anyone can think this is acceptable.

Spratt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] As far as I know, this can’t be
done. The flash player is single threaded, so nothing else happens ina
timer loop, nothing will “return”. It seems like there should
be a way to hack this, maybe using doLater() and setInterval(), but I have
never heard of one. What is your functional reason for not
using the result event? Once I got used to async handling, using the ACT
(asynchronous call token) pattern with the “call” object, I go over
my irritation with the relative complexity and learned to like the async data
calls. From: Carson Hager
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Basically, I'm trying to stop executiong
of a function until the result returns. When it returns, I want to get the
result and return it as the return value to the function..basically a wrapper
around a web service call that provides a synchronous response to the calling
code. Any ideas on how to do this? Thanks, ____________________________________________

Gianninas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, There is
no equivalent. Are you try to make sure that when one call is finished the next
one is executed (but only when the first one completed)? You can easily achieve
this by making the second call once the result for the first one has been
received. Jimmy

Hager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Is
there something in Flex that will put a thread to sleep for a period of
time? I'm implementing a framework to effectively allow synchronous
invocation of web services from action script. I need to be able to put the
thread to sleep for a period of time and check to see whether the results have
made it back to the internal result handler. I've searched the docs and
have not found anything yet. Any clever ideas how to do this? Thanks,
