I'd consider using a go the frame instead. Repeat loops halt other events until they're done, as you've discovered. Putting in a go the frame will refresh the screen. Another thing you could do is attach a behavior to the item(s) meant to move and tell them to begin motion, using something similar to your current code, with a property flag for the item(s) that starts off as false (don't move), gets set to true (move) and set back to false (don't move) when the items arrive at their targets. You could then have the animated items update their location on each exitFrame (on exitFrame me), thus letting your movie continue to do its standard go the frame without actually siezing control of the processor until your animation has finished. Does that help? --WthmO [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
