When dealing with things inside the flash player - you need to deal with it
as if it was single threaded - because generally, it is. In your example,
the functions would be called in order, one after another...not all at the
same time as you may think so lets say you had an example like this
var myNumber:Number = 0;
private function doThisFunction():void{
myFunction1();
myFunction2();
myFunction3();
}
if function 1 added 10 to myNumber, function 2 multiplied it by 5, and
function 3 subtracted 12 - it would happen in that order exactly - and you
can count on that - so your final result would be 38
hope this helps
