Disregard that - as soon as I hit send, my mail client fetched the other

Hi Richmond,
The way to do this is to wait with messages - so 'wait 4 ticks' becomes
'wait 4 ticks with messages'. This form of the command allows other
messages to be passed while it's executing, making it a non-blocking
wait.
Regards,

I am animating a series of images like this:
on animaSHun
set the vis of img "M1" to true
set the vis of img "M4" to false
wait 4 ticks
set the vis of img "M2" to true
set the vis of img "M1" to false
wait 4 ticks
set the vis of img "M3" to true
set the vis of img "M2" to false
wait 4 ticks
set the vis of img "M4" to true
set the vis of img "M3" to false
wait 4 ticks
animaSHun
end animaSHun
and there I was feeling proud of myself for having been "so" clever,
BUT I was wrong . . .
Now in the same cardScript I have an "on arrowKey" script to let me
move the animation
around the card with the arrow keys on my keyboard . . .
But that "animaSHun" routine goes round and round (as, indeed, it
should) and the arrowKeys
are quite unable to "get a word in edgeways"; in fact the only way to
stop the thing
is by crashing LiveCode.
I would be grateful if anyone could tell me how to get a word in
edgeways while keeping the animation going.
Yup: I know I could just use an animated GIF image . . . but, call me
bloody-minded, I have my
reasons for not using one.
Richmond.
