Hi,
The Flash Player
doesn't support a threading model like you're looking for. There isonly
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.

Subject: [flexcoders] "wait loop" to
synchronize asyncronous call?
I'd like to set up a loop that will block
current processing until
some condition is met.
setInterval, and the various timers I see on the forums
allow one to
run some function
after some interval for animation effects and
such. But I need an implementation that will allow me
to do
something
like:
.....
do{
//just wait
}(while
mycomponent.isDataReady == false) //DOES NOT
WORK
processData(myComponent.getData);
...
Any
suggestions?
Thanks,
Tracy
