Re: [osflash] Question: is there a way to hold code execution in AS2.0 or/and AS3.0

[Dan Shryock]

To my knowledge, neither flash, nor _javascript_ can do this because despite the basic setTimeout style systems, neither is actually threaded allowing you to block the execution of one thread while another (the dialog thread) executes.  This can only be achieved in _javascript_ using apecial methods (alert, confirm, etc...) that use features of the browser itself to deal with the situation (notice that there is very little room to customize these dialogs, and that you cannot create your own completely new dialog that functions differently).  Usually the only way to get arround this situation is to allow execution to complete, and deal with the results of the dialog in a callback.  Hope this helps.
