I don't see why you can't use the equivalent of an AsyncToken in a sync call if you really want to. I don't understand the problem.
There's at least one DoLater.as class floating around in AS2..a doLater is basically just adding an onEnterFrame to an handy MovieClip that calls a given method and then removes itself. > > From: "pgp.coppens" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2007/03/23 Fri AM 10:54:28 CST > To: [email protected] > Subject: [flexcoders] Re: How to asynchronously dispatch an event > > Thanks for your reply Mark > > > > Why would it matter for the API whether or not event dispatching was > asynchronous?
