".chances of it working are reduced." Why do you say that?

I see. So shall I read your response as: Flex asynchronous methods get queued up and are only invoked once ALL synchronous calls in the same block get executed. So I were to have the following: var asyncToken:ASyncToken public function callServer():void { asyncToken= httpsrv.send(); } public function doit():void { callServer(); asyncToken.addResponder(...); } <mx:button click="doit()"/> So, in this case, my chances of it working are reduced... (not the 100% anymore). Is that right? thks. --- In flexcod...@yahoogro <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ups.com, "Adnan Doric" <astrona...@...> wrote: > > The key word is "asynchronous". > > "httpsrv.send()" is asynchronous so it gets executed after all synchronous statements (addResponder is synchronous) in the same block. > > cheers, > Adnan > > --- In flexcod...@yahoogro <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ups.com, "Mehdi" <elextraana@> wrote: > > > > This is a question that has been bothered me for some time. > > You know how in Flex you can invoke a service (say httpservice for instance) which returns a token.
