I need some help before I lose what shred of sanity I have left.  Let me start out by saying that I am pretty new to JavaScript and dojo. I am trying to rewrite our JS maps to AMD and have hit a wall when it comes to converting a DeferredList to the new dojo/promise API. Not to overwhelm you with code, I'll just paste a snippet of the "old" code (I am aware of converting to array.map etc. but just want to show what I'm starting with). var tasks = dojo.map(layers, function(layer) {                     return new esri.tasks.IdentifyTask(layer.url);                 }); //map each visible dynamic layer to a new identify task, using the layer url                 var defTasks = dojo.map(tasks, function (task) {                     return new dojo.Deferred();                 }); //map each identify task to a new dojo.Deferred                                var dlTasks = new dojo.DeferredList(defTasks); //And use all of these Deferreds in a DeferredList                 dlTasks.then(showIDResults); //chain showResults nto your DeferredList ***PROBLEM HERE****                 idParams.width = map.width;                 idParams.height = map.height;                 idParams.geometry = evt.mapPoint;                 idParams.mapExtent = map.extent;                          alert(tasks.length);                 for (i=0;i<tasks.length;i++) { //Use 'for' instead of 'for...in' so you can sync tasks with defTasks                     try {                         tasks[i].execute(idParams, defTasks[i].callback, defTasks[i].errback); //Execute each task                     }                     catch (e) {                         console.log("Error caught");                         console.log(e);                         defTasks[i].errback(e); //If you get an error for any task, execute the errback                     }                 } The showIDResults function expects an array of results from execution of the tasks.  This is were I'm having a problem. No matter what I try (and I've tried a lot of things) I end up with a Deferred or a Promise rather than actual results to pass to showIDResults. Am I making any sense? Any help would be greatly appreciated! ... View more
