I like to think of myself as a Flash/Flex specialist. While I am perfectly capable of tackling medium to large projects, I find myself constantly trying to perfect existing code to do more. Currently, I am working on a project to stream personal media to a variety of devices including user computers and ipods. I am open to writing about and discussing anything Flash/Flex in particular or anything else that may be troubling you.

Now let's sum up the main points.  We learned a number of benefits of asynchronous programming.  Namely:

   1. Ability to perform lengthy operations without tying up the program.
   2. Retains fluidity so the user can continue to interact with the GUI.

The concepts I have tried to explain can be used in any project.  Allot of the components you probably already work with use this kind of asynchronous design.  Each time you use an HTTPService object to send a request you are doing so asynchronously.

I hope you found this tutorial informative.  Please download the attachment and play around with it.  Send me any questions and I will be happy to discuss everything with you.  Happy coding….
