Don't know anything about the google code.  Give it a try and see.

Alex thanks for the tip. I saw your post about pseudo-threading: 
http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2008/01/threads_in_actionscript_3.html

Then I found this project doing it: 
http://code.google.com/p/async-threading/downloads/list

Do you know that project? Should I use that?

Thanks so much!

Subject: [flexcoders] callLater in a non UI actionscript component 
(pseudo-threading)



I currently have an expensive process that I am pseudo-threading by processing 
part of it, then using callLater to process the rest. This lets me update the 
view after each batch is processed, giving the user feedback during the 
process. Also, it gives the user a window to 'interrupt' the process and change 
some parameters so that it continues processing the rest of the data with those 
new paramaters.

I would like to move this batch pseudo-threading functionality to my service 
layer (an AS component) but callLater is a UIComponent function. Is there a way 
to get similar functionality in a NON-UIComponent component? Is there a better 
way of going about this?

Thank you!

Calllater is just using enterFrame and render events.  If you have any Flex 
code in the app, you can use Application.application.callLater
