The Flash Player performs some operations at the end of the frame. The
Flash Player is on a loop of running code and then rendering to the screen.
Somewhere after it runs the code on the current frame it executes network
calls, decodes images, etc. Some of these are put on other threads so the
UI is not interrupted.
That's why you can add an event listener after you make a network call.
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("
http://www.google.com";);
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.OPEN, function (event:Event)
{ trace('open') });
loader.load(request);
trace("load called");
var x:int = 10; // more code
trace(x);
loader.addEventListener(Event.OPEN, function (event:Event)
{ trace('open 2') });
// output
load called
10
open
open 2
If load actually did the network call at the time we called it the open
event would occur before our "load called" trace. But when we called load,
the trace message was output to the console and then after all the code in
the frame has run the network call is made and we receive the open and open
2 event.
So when you call System.pause() it will continue to run the remaining code
in the frame and pause on the next frame. In your case you might want to do
something like this:
if (someCondition) {
FlexGlobals.application.enabled = false; // disable mouse events -
interactions
System.pause();
return; // end code execution
}
// other code
