Threading or similar in LiveCode

[Colin Holgate]

Similar work is being done in Flash Player. They call the feature "concurrency workers". Here's the one paragraph description:

"Concurrency (ActionScript Workers) — This feature enable developers to off-load certain tasks like high-latency operations and long-running computations to “workers”. These background workers run concurrently in order to leverage more machine resources and avoid things like UI freezes and allow content to be more responsive."
