So you want a function to return a result before it's there? I think you
can see the problem inherent in that design.
In a runtime other than Flash, you could block if the user calls the
function before the result is available, but Flash won't let you do that
(and for good reason--the entire paradigm is built around nonblocking
actions). I think the only think you can do is have Services extend
EventDispatcher and dispatch an event when the result is returned, and
listen for that in the client.

I tried that but it returns an empty ArrayCollection because it's only
created within the ResultEvent Function once the HTTPService is
successful...
Thanks.
