Hi, Flex2/ActionScript programming model is singlethreaded, but it has asynchronous IO calls. This means that obviously AVM has threads to implement asyncIO.
I need to perform some time consuming computations within actionscript, but I can't spawn new thread in AS. Hence the questions: 1. can I somehow implement local service which will receive requests and post responses (events) to consume in GUI (event dispatch thread)? I mean reuse asynchronous IO implementation. 2. back in windows 3.xx days (single threaded os) there was "nested event loop" approach so within computation loop I can call something like dispatchMessages() to prevent UI from lockup. Is it possible with flex? -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
