Question

I know that flex does not support multi threading however, I would like to clear a doubt.
I have two events that call a same function. Suppose the two events occur at the same instant (or in quick succession) will the handler be called twice, one after the other or there is a chance that if the handler function is taking too much time to execute the same handler can start executing simultaneously.

Answer 1

The handler will be called twice, once with each event. The second call (and essentially, the entire app) will be blocked until the first call has returned.

Here‘s a nice overview of the event cycle–doesn’t specifically address your question, but it’s a nice broad picture.

And you can’t go wrong with the elastic racetrack.
