Description

The stack of functions:

keyboardEvent(event:Event)
{
Trace("keyboard event");
writePacketToLAyer1();
}
writePacketToLAyer1()
{
Trace("layerONE");
writePacketToLAyer2();
}
.
.
.
writePacketToLAyer3()
{
Trace("layerTHREE");
writePacketToLAyer4();
}
writePacketToLayer4()
{
Trace("layerFOUR")
sendPacketThroughHTTPRequest();
}

sendPacketThroughHTTPRequest()
{
Trace("sending HTTP Request "+ nextToSend++);
}

Whenever a keyboard event occurs function stack gets executed as mentioned above.

Steps to reproduce:*
I am making a small project which will reproduce this scenario. Will update the thread asap.
The problem is because of the shared resource (nextToSend), which gets corrupted due to overlapping of
the function stack. I looked everywhere on the forums and adobe site, they all say that keyboard events take place in
a single thread. According to which this should not happen. I am at a loss currently.

Actual Results:
Keyboard event
layerONE
layerTWO
keyboard event
layerONE
layerTWO
layerTHREE
layerFOUR
sending HTTP Request nextToSend
layerTHREE
layerFOUR
sending HTTP Request nextToSend

Expected Results:
Keyboard event
layerONE
layerTWO
layerTHREE
layerFOUR
sending HTTP Request nextToSend
keyboard event
layerONE
layerTWO
layerTHREE
layerFOUR
sending HTTP Request nextToSend

Workaround (if any):
