Display a transparent or semitransparent component covering the entire app. This is how "modal" popups work.
It will not block any processing, but will prevent user interaction. Hmm, don't know about keyboard interaction...

The only time this is being used in my app is to completely freeze out a user by an administrator. I am using managed DataServices and thus if an administrator changes the UserVO value 'enabled' to false then that value pushes through to that users computer. I have set up ObserveValue at the root of the application to look for that change on the model and if it registers it then I want to display an alert and then freeze the entire application, forcing the user to navigate away. I guess I could just build in a URL redirect and get the same effect. I was just wondering if how I could freeze the app. Sounds like it is possible, but not easy. - Kevin On Oct 1, 2007, at 2:49 AM, Alex Harui wrote: Because Flash is a single-threaded runtime, freezing is a bad thing, you can't interact with the app at all, and eventually you'll get an timeout error. Your users will be frustrated that they can't cancel or navigate elsewhere in your app. . <http://geo.yahoo.com/serv?s=97359714/grpId=12286167/grpspId=1705007207/ msgId=89079/stime=1191221452/nc1=4507179/nc2=4763762/nc3=3848643>
