Exactly. And please have a look at Josh's very good explanation of why it is that "long winded". You have the same thing in other programming systems as well. Eg. last time i looked at Java client programming, you need to establish a second thread for beeing able to update the UI and receive user input while other calculations are running. Instead of threads we have this movieclip/frames methaphor in Flex/Flash Player.
With kind regards Ralf.
