I don't understand your response. If the user chooses not to filter the data (and therefore, gets 40k points), IE locks up big time (stops responding to paint messages) while the Series runs through its updateDisplayList() (and intensive task with 40k interations). I need to loop, every, say, 500 iterations, to give some time back to IE for responding to messages - otherwise the whole of IE goes white.
In .NET, you can call Application.DoEvents(), which processes messages sat on the queue (like paint messages), which would stop this problem. I need an equivilent in Flex, that I can call when I'm in the middle of a lot of processing, to allow FP/IE to respond. Otherwise, anything that requres a loop that'll take some time, will always cripple IE (and ultimately tell the user IE is "(Not Repsonding)" in the title bar). -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Chiverton Sent: 26 July 2006 09:30 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Equiv of DoEvents, to allow painting?
