Re: Problem 2: PostNetText & Parent Script

[Irv Kalb]

Like Cole said, you cannot sit in a repeat loop and wait for the 
operation to end.  Repeat loops in Director are optimized to not let 
anything else get time.

I have a detailed description of the problem and the solution at:

See chapter 14.

Hi All,
I have another question.
I created a simple behaviour to post to a URL and return a result. 
It worked perfectly.
However when i transfered this to a Parent Script it does not.

Any ideas?
Heres the code snippet

netID = VOID
netID = postNetText(URL)
counter = 0
    netID = postNetText(URL,parameters)
    repeat while counter < timecount
    --put counter
          if netDone(netID) <> False then
            if netError(netID) = "OK" then
              counter = 100
              return netTextResult(netID)
            else
              counter = counter+1
              if counter >= (timecount-1) then
                return "error"
              end if
            end if
          else
            counter = counter+1
            if counter >= (timecount-1) then
              return "error"
            end if
          end if
        end repeat
