Use setInterval, timer events, or callLater to break up the loop into chunks.

The problem is the loop I'm working through is taking all of the resources for the flash container while it works. Put another way: I am processing 1000 records It takes 45 seconds to complete and is invisible to the user While this loop of processing takes place I want to update a progress meter telling the user I'm still working.... but Since this loop is so intense the whole flash container "hangs" or apears to pause. In fact, the whole browser is in this state. Is there a way I can throttle this work a little so that screen updates and interactions can still take place? (as a note, I'm walking through some data DTOs and creating an XML object from the properties on them) Thanks
