there is "wait for event"?

Unknown

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)

Hi,
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
http://docs.giderosmobile.com/reference/gideros/Event#Event

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.

@fecik Gideros is single threaded so there is not block thread stuff.

You can achieve some paralelism through coroutines and yield operation on coroutine, etc. But that is probably not what you want.
