Subj : Clarification required on Spidermonkey code

I am planning to use Spidermonkey (JSEngine) code in
my application for which I need the following
clarification:

As I understand, whenever JSEngine encounters a host
object method, it will invoke the callback function.
If the response for the callback function is going to
be asynchronous, then JSEngine has to be suspended
before it continues further. 

Does Spidermonkey have the capability to suspend and
resume it's execution of script when the actual
response of the callback function is going to be
asynchronous (e.g. alert/prompt/confirm method)? 
If not, does design of spidermonkey assume that it has
to run as a separate thread?

Thanks
Suresh
