[flexcoders] Question on Flex Script Execution + Alert.show

[Angelo Anolin]

Hi FlexCoders,

This has puzzled me a bit..

I have the following scripts in my application:

private var myAlert:int;

private function testFunction(evt:Event):void
{
  Alert.show('do you want to proceed', 'Title', Alert.YES | Alert.NO, null, 
alertHandler, null, Alert.YES);

  if(myAlert == 1)
  {
    // Do Something here
  }
  else
  {
    // Do other thing here
  }
}

Private function alertHandler(evt:CloseEvent)
{
  if(evt.Detail == Alert.YES)
  {
    myAlert = 1;
  }
  else
  {
    myAlert = -1;
  }
}

Now, what puzzles me is that the script after the Alert.show is triggered, the 
scripts following it are also triggered.

Is there a way to ensure that the script following the Alert.show alert box 
would only be executed after the Yes or No buttons has been pressed?

I won't be able to move the scripts after the Alert.show script to the 
alertHandler event since there are some objects being set / modified prior to 
the alert being called.

Inputs highly appreciated.

Thanks.
