When I get large datasets back from the server that could trigger multiple times, I add them to a WorkQueue which is a simple singleton class. It has an Array of tasks and a timer that fires every 200ms, it pops the next task off the Array and executes it. The Task object itself takes a Function and an Arguments Array. Works exactly like CallLater except it allows non UIComponents to defer work till the next frame. Pretty useful when you need to break things up and the work can be paired down to a function call with arguments.
I believe Alex Harui also had a Pseudo-Threading example on his blog: http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2008/01/threads_in_actionscript_3.html On Wed, Apr 16, 2008 at 5:14 PM, Gordon Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Canvas is a subclass of UIComponent.
