Synchronous Socket Connection

[ced-b]

I am currently working with a local socket connection to transfer data between a Java Application and an embedded SWF file.

Currently, I have it working in the asynchronous mode that ActionScript generally uses to connect to remote services. However, for the purpose of my application it would be much better if I could access the Socket in a synchronous fashion.

Essentially, I want to be able to provide a method like that:


function var send(aRequest:Request):Response {}


It should wait until the response comes back and then return it, rather than going on and waiting for an event to fire.

Does anyone know how to do that?

There is no way to pause code execution in a function until an asynchronous event is fired.
