For several years before using flash I used a proprietary GUI OO tool that had a similar (though less sophisticated) event mechanism. In that system event dispatch did not actually take place until the code block had completed - only then would handlers be invoked. This was particularly important since the system also supported database access and transaction handling so it's particularly important to have discrete units of work that form part of a transaction without interruption. So I don't think that the synchronous event despatch mechanism is as obvious as it appears to some and I think it should really be a delayed propogation. Anyway, it's been an interesting thread.
