Flex: Is there a way to tell when all code has stopped executing?

Question

Whenever a user does something a a series of scripts are executing, after everything has finished and no more scripts are being run, and the app is essentially "idol" is there a way to capture that as an event?

Answer 1

In the simplest form, you should know that all "actions" are complete when you reach the end of your event listener.

For instance, if you create button with click handler like this:

<mx:Button id="clickMeButton" label="Click me" click="clickMeButton_clickHandler();" />

You would have this event listener function:

private function clickMeButton_clickHandler():void
{
    // process your logic

    // process more logic

    // process even more logic

    // the event listener logic is complete here (right before the closing bracket)
}
