Flash threads ( native Workers solution )

In Flash Player 12 the programmers can use Threads. The Threads called Workers, and the instances called Promises.
What we need to know about workers: The workers shared nothing, have message passing, and have shared render surface.


This is a pre-alpha version of the code:

var domain : WorkerDomain = WorkerDomain.current;
var topLevel : Promise = worker.start();
...
var wasRunning : Boolean = worker.stop();

var worker : Worker = domain.createWorkerFromMain();

var barRresult : Boolean = toplevel.foo.bar();
// worker code //
package foo {
  public function bar() : String { return "bar"; }
}

// async request
barResult.local::when( function( result : Promise ) : void {
  trace( result.local::receive() );
} );

// sync version
var value : String = String( barResult.local::receive() );
