Paul- I ran into the same thing some years ago trying to implement MIDI externals. Even with MIDI output when you're dealing with polyphonic streams to multiple devices, I found it was easier to have LC do things than to try to keep track of multiple threads in externals.
But things are looking up. Have you looked at the lcidlc folder in the engine source? There's support for multiple threading in the new externals api. -- -Mark Wieder [email protected] _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
