I didn't know you can poll in a separate thread without interrupting the GUI process I'm exploring if what I need to do is possible in Flex 2 before I actually plunge into it, so my knowledge of Flex is minimal at this point (I'm working on the backend stuff still... but looking ahead for

Last I heard the Flash player was single threaded. If that's still true, the question of synchronization is moot. Multiple threads have been in the player for some time now. There are multiple threads in the flash player as follows: Single Thread of Execution – AS Execution DisplayList

Hi TedRe: If the player was 20 times faster ... I'm sure you can build any language feature you need on top of a language that executed fast enough, but I think it's about more subtle things like the ease of programming and the elegance you can achieve out of the box ... Re: "N Threads -

Currently network operations run in separate threads that AS Execution and DisplayList Rendering. Only when data has been loaded, do these events cascade into the ASExecution. Networking threads include all calls to: LoadVars, XML, LoadMovie, LoadVariables, URLStream, Socket, XMLSocket,
