Re: Multithread/Background function execution in Rev?

[Steve Gehlbach]

Is there a way to fire off my little fade in/out function (or any  
function/message for that matter) in a separate event, process, 
thread
 
Yes.

Look at 'send' and its friends 'cancel' and 'pendingMessages'.

I took the Hello World tutorial an an example and changed it as below. 
It is interesting that if you start the visual effect first, it seems to 
block the "move field".  But if you do it the way I have below, it works 
on Windows and Linux (although clunkyness may be platform dependent I 
suspect).  To me it seems that Revolution is mutithreaded sometimes.

Am I doing this along the lines of what you were suggesting?

***the card script:
on preOpenCard
  set the loc of field "My Field" to -100,-50
  hide graphic "My World"
end preOpenCard
on myWorldMsg
  show graphic "My World" with visual effect dissolve
end myWorldMsg
on myFieldMsg
  move field "My Field" to the location of this card
end myFieldMsg
***the Start button script:

on mouseUP

    send "myFieldMsg" to me in 1 milliseconds
    send "myWorldMsg" to me in 300 milliseconds
end mouseUP
