Haha Amy, that's a good one. Maybe it should :)
But seriously, dispatchEvent is nothing
Funny, I have a very similar example at my end that I wrote just now
to prove to myself what was happening. I should have checked my email
first ;-)

Sorry, I mean With /synchronous event dispatch/, triggering an event
100 times will mean the listeners get invoked 100 times, even if the
last invokation completely overwrites the work of the previous 99.

The only way for a listener to not get called synchronously is if it is
specifically setup to do that. For example in Flex you can call a method
using callLater which will call it on the next frame. If you are not using
Flex you can do the same thing by creating a timer with a duration of 1 and

Hi Amy
Afaik this is not possible in Flashplayer. A block of code is always
running through without any interuption. Colin Moock has a good
chapter of how all this works in his nice AS3 book.
Cheers

Hi Amy
Here is a trivial example using dispatchEvent to show the synchronous
invocation of listeners that could (if badly written) interfere with
innocuous code.
Normally when the click to count button is pressed, the count goes from 1
to 10.
If the button to enable despatching the event is pressed,

I have been happily thinking the whole time that events really *are*
