You will need to have a handler function called by the result event, and apply the formatting from that.
The player is single threaded (from the developers viewpoint), there is no code blocking, and all RPC calls are asynchronous. You can not, ever, access the result in the same function you invoke send.

So i call my format method. format method should call my service to get the category from the DB return the category name then, the category service sets the category var on results If i try this it doesnt wait for the categoryService thread to finish before returning the value. How do I get it to return after the service call is done? private function formatCategory(item:Object, categoryId:AdvancedDataGridColumn):String{ categoryService.flex_show.send({id: item.categoryId}); return category.name }
