Basically what I'm doing is checking for the existence of an object, if it's not found, the script will try to load the source file using getScript. I only want to check this once though then return true or false to the function that calls fetch()

  fetch:function(obj){
      ...
        isReady = false;
   $.getScript(obj.srcFile,function(){

    isReady=true;
    warn("was able to load object "+key);

   });

   return isReady;

   }

but return kicks in before the script loads =/

later the script is loaded but the function returned false.

This is the beauty of asynchronous I suppose...

What's the best way to handle this... Maybe I could check again at some other point if the object exists?

Or maybe there's a better way to do this where I dont have to potentially lock the browser?
