Hey guys,

just wanted to add this link to the discussion as well :)

http://as3commons.org/as3-commons-async/introduction.html

as3commons-async aims to provide a common API for all sorts of asynchronous
functionality in actionscript. It would be nice if the Flex framework could
try and support a similar approach.
Right now its kind of confusing to use AsyncTokens, eventdispatchers, and
complete events for all the various types of async behaviour.

cheers,

Roland
