[Gnash] LocalConnection::connect() block ?

[Rob Savoye]

This is probably a dumb question, but... I was wondering if calling 
LocalConnection::connect() to receive a SWF "message" blocks until a 
message is sent by a client, or does it return with an error if nothing 
is waiting ? Or start a background thread to process messages ? The 
clean docs I've found on the net don't really say.

I've implemented chunks of NetConnection and LocalConnection today, and 
was wondering. I don't see any event handlers for incoming data as in 
XMLSocket, so I'm assuming the call blocks until a message is 
received... and LocalConnection::connect() must be called for each new 
message. Or does LocalConnection::connect() function like a main event 
loop, and just keep processing methods for the client ? Seems to be a 
simple RPC mechanism.
