    While in general, Brightscript is not multithreaded, some functions are, and what you described is perfectly possible using AsyncGetToString() or other Asynchronous methods of roURLTransfer, in combination with a non-zero wait time for messages from a designated message port.

    if your springboard screen is not created in a separate function, and uses the same message port, you might be able to make this work the way you want.
