Nope, the model didn't change. The
Player will do stuff in the background for you like sending the RemoteObject
call and sending the WebService but once it starts executing ActionScript it's
single-threaded.

"wait loop" to synchronize asyncronous call?
I heard that single
threaded model was resolved with the new Flash Player (7.0). Is it
true ?

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.

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
