Two ways:
function pollServer():void {
//do polling here
if(shouldcontinuepolling) setTimeout(pollServer,1000);
}
Or
function pollServer():void {
//do polling here
}
var pollInterval:uint=null;
function onCreationComplete():void {
pollInterval = setInterval(pollServer,1000);
}
Later when you need to stop polling:
if(pollInterval!=null) { clearInterval(pollInterval); pollInterval=null; }

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Sleep() method
I have a usecase where I need to keep polling the server for a value. How
can I achieve that without a sleep method?

There is (as opposed to setTimeout which executes a method after a delay) ?
