No, sorry, there is NO code blocking in AS/Flex. You MUST do the work in result handler. Resistance is futile.
It takes some getting used to but with a bit of thought, driven by necessity, you will find a way to re-arrange your functionality to work within the asynchronous, non-blocking paradigm.

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.
