AS3 - How to do a synchronous load of an asynchronous call?

Question

I have a function that loads a user object from a web service asynchronously.

I wrap this function call in another function and make it synchronous.

For exam

Answer 1

You can't convert async call into sync one without something like "sleep()" function and as far as I know it is missing in AS3. And yes, it is not guaranteed that newUser would contain user name before return statement.
