Why would it matter for the API whether or not event dispatching was
asynchronous? Clients still listen for events and hear them; the only
difference would be that the stack would get taller on the sync calls.
If you *really* needed to make ape async behavior, you could have the sync
methods use a doLater() method to wait a frame before broadcasting an event.

Subject: [flexcoders] How to asynchronously dispatch an event
Hello,
I am designing an api that manages a data model. Some of the methods
on the data model will trigger a server service (HTTPService), and
will therefore be handled asynchronously (no choice there). Other
actions, not going to the server, would be synchronous.
I would like to give the user of the api a consistent (asynchronous)
view of the api but I can not seem to create asynchronous behavior.
dispatchEvent seems to always synchronously invoke registered event
handlers.
Is there a way to have a class method trigger an asynchronous event?
Thanks in advance,
Peter
