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

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!

Baz

 *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!

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