title: How to run a process in the background in Flex?
body: <p>I have a normal flex app that allows you to enter a code. When you enter this code, it pops the code into a queue. I the have a process in the background that hits this queue and takes each code, sends it to a webservice and then responds with a result. Based on the result, the screen is then also updated. The problem is, I want the user to be able to keep entering codes without having the annoying clock show up stopping him from doing anything until the process is done.</p>
  
  <p>So...</p>
