Hey,Try this;import mx.core.UIComponent;public class nonUIClass{    private var callLaterObject:UIComponent;        public function invalidate(func:Function):void    {
        if (!callLaterObject)        {            callLaterObject = new UIComponent();        }        engine.callLater(func);    }            public function invalidateSomething():void    {

Hi all,

I need to use the equivalent of UIComponent.callLater() but from a
non-UIComponent class.

I've tried using the top level application using
mx.core.Application.application.callLater()

but that doesn't seem to work to call my non-ui object's method. Does
that function only work if you're calling it from the same class as
the callback method?

Does anyone know of another way to do this?

thanks,
Thunder

see code example

import mx.core.Application;
public class nonUIClass
{
  public function invalidateSomething():void
  {
     // try to call the update function on next update
     mx.core.Application.application.callLater(updateSomething);

// I've tried both of these methods..
     // shouldn't make a difference right?
     mx.core.Application.application.callLater(this.updateSomething);
  }

public function updateSomething():void
  {
     // not being called by callLater in invalidateSomething()
  }
}
