I have a relatively small (I hope) problem…

\*\*public mainFunction()  
{  
this.method1();  
this.method2();  
} \*\*

The question: _how can I synchronize these two method such that, the method2 is being executed only when method1 is finished. And the end of method1 depends on a user event (so it is undefined)?_

I hope somebody can help me…
