So I'm new to working with promises, but I'm having trouble wrapping my head around these asynchronous requests.  I am running a QueryTask within a result loop from a FindTask.  I am outputting all results to an array, to display once everything finishes up.  The issue I am experiencing comes with accessing the results.  I can pull out the results from the FindTask with no problem, but when I perform an "execute().then()" statement for my query task, those results are not returned until the promise resolves.  However, I would like to access those results sooner (e.g. as soon as that query task is executed).  My question is, is there any way to execute a QueryTask without using Promises?  Or is there a way to return results immediately within a promise? My code is posted below for clarification.   the goal is to perform a spatial query based off of the returned result of a FindTask, without displaying a map.  Any help or tips are much appreciated! <script>     require([       "esri/tasks/QueryTask",       "esri/tasks/support/Query",       "esri/tasks/FindTask",       "esri/tasks/support/FindParameters",       "dojo/_base/array",       "dojo/dom",       "dojo/on",       "dojo/domReady!"     ], function(QueryTask, Query, FindTask, FindParameters, arrayUtils, dom, on) {       var loadingImg = dom.byId("loading");
