I shouldn’t have been so whiney,
this turned out to be easier than I thought, doing just what I said below,
using an array to track completion of a queue of external calls. The event.call token/dynamic property
technique is hugely powerful. Strangely, I can’t seem to get an
uncorrupted copy of the Chapter 20 pdf. I’ll keep trying. Thanks for the help! From: Tracy Spratt
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] My service event handler is working fine,
using event.call properties to send the result to the correct component
instance. But I have a procedural path that tries to
use the returned data before it arrives. Essentially I am building an arrayof
data from several sources, that may or may not be external If I can’t do a wait or sleep or
pause, I will have to do detect if there are any external servicecalls, request
them first, storing an array of requests somewhere, decrementing the array when
each data call returns, and finally doing my local processing when all the
calls are returned. Plus I want them in the order I request them.
Yikes! Well if it was easy, I wouldn’t be making the big bucks! Thanks, From: Matt Chotin
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, The Flash Player doesn't support a
threading model like you're looking for. There is only one thread for
ActionScript code. So if the processing you're talking about is on the
server what you'll do is call your service, then place any code that depends on
that service having completed in some function that will be called by your
service's result handler. You can also put up a shim to block all
user-interaction in the meantime if the busy cursor isn't enough. I think
we have an example of that in our extras folder. Matt -----Original Message----- I'd like to set up a loop that will block current
processing until |
