Wait for URLLoader reply before continuing (workaround needed)

programming flash
1

Is it possible to wait for a response from a URLLoader before continuing execution of code? Yes, I know it’s not directly possible, but is there any workaround?

I tried something like

public function get myProperty():String
{
   load_url_request_function();
   response = ""; 
   while (response == "")
   {
      //Do nothing
   }
   
   return response;
}

In the “load_url_request_function()” I add an event listener which eventually populates the “response” variable with data retrieved from the URLLoader’s data property. However, the above code hits the 15 second timeout limit (which I actually expected it to do)

I just would like some workaround for this, if anyone knows of any. :frowning:

I basically want users to be able to access the property without needing to add an event listener for the reply.

Also a “No, Andreas. For the n-th time, it’s not possible!!” reply is acceptable rather that no response.:look:
