Question/Help Only on "Synchronized" Function Call -- Not a Bug

[mrunion]

I have only been using Flume for a week. I am probably trying to do something wrong or not as intended, so this is why I wanted to ask:

I am needing to pull some data from an external location in the "resloveNodes" function. No matter what I have tried, I cannot make the call to getting external data wait for that data to return without the resloveNodes function continuing and returning empty data.

I can log the interaction with the promise and I do get the data, it's just too late.

I will admit that I am probably using Flume incorrectly, and maybe Flume's intent is to only create the steps to perform a process using the Node Editor, then actually fulfill the execution of those steps in another system/tool/etc.

Am I just wanting to do something that's not intended?

Thanks in advance for any input on this. Flume looks great and seems to be a nice tool.
