I had to do something similar for some network opereations, so here's what you
can do...
Instantiate your objects into a list, call the handler in each object one at a
time by stepping the index, or instantiate each object one at a time.
Have the object's handler set a flag (or property) when the operation is
complete.
Next have an exitframe script keep checking for the status of the current objects
flag.
When it sets the flag, move on to the next object/task.
here's a Cliff's notes version:
myObj = new(script "myParentScript", param, param, etc...)
myObj.pFlag = FALSE (or you could set any number of ways or leave the value null
until you set to TRUE, whatever...)
on objectHandler me, whatever
-- do something
-- do something else
myObj.pFlag = TRUE
end
on exitframe
global myObj, myObj2, myObj3
if objectP(myObj) AND myObj.pFlag = TRUE then
-- call next object
else if objectP(myObj2) AND myObj2.pFlag = TRUE then
-- call next object
else if objectP(myObj3) AND myObj3.pFlag = TRUE then
-- you're outa here...
-- clean up or whatever
end if
end
