Why would it matter for the API whether or not event dispatching was asynchronous? Clients still listen for events and hear them; the only difference would be that the stack would get taller on the sync calls.
If you *really* needed to make ape async behavior, you could have the sync methods use a doLater() method to wait a frame before broadcasting an event. -Mark Hawley > > From: "pgp.coppens" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2007/03/23 Fri AM 07:30:48 CST > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [flexcoders] How to asynchronously dispatch an event > > Hello, > > I am designing an "api" that manages a data model.
