Sorry, I must have not explained well. The race condition I'm talking about exists here:
thread 1: calls load() and say someFlag gets set to 1; thread 2: calls load() and someFlag is set to 2; thread 1: the first load is complete and handleComplete() is called, but someFlag is set to 2 when the value I want is 1. I want to attach a copy of the value of someFlag to the event so in handleComplete() I could call event.target.someFlagCopy and always get the value that was set in *that* thread's load() call.
