That makes sense if you can control the data that is sent back to you from the first resultevent (but I can't).
1) Web call - Does the user 'Trefalgar' exist? 2) Web reply - No. (no additional data) 3) Web call - Create user 'Trefalgar' Flex doesnt appear to be linear. That said, since #2 doesn't tell me what user it's replying "no" to, if I do this in a loop with 100 users, it could be replying back with 20 "no"s and I can't tell how I'd match the replies up with the requests. Is there a solution for this problem in Flex/AS? I don't think putting the secondary calls in the resultevent would work, when critical information needed for future calls isn't available in the resultevent.
