there is "wait for event"?
Unknown
Member
Hi,
i need a blocking/synchronous way to "wait for event".
(that will avoid many resource usage, at my app)
how to accomplish this at Gideros?
(for instance, SDL has SDL_WaitEvent)

I don't know SDL, this may be a different approach: take a look to EventDispatcher
http://docs.giderosmobile.com/reference/gideros/EventDispatcher/addEventListener
and

You can "listen" for a set of predefined events (enter frame, key down...) or create your custom events.
When the event occurs a function of your choice is triggered.
You can achieve some paralelism through coroutines and yield operation on coroutine, etc. But that is probably not what you want.
