Many thanks to all who responded. Still not working as I want it to I'm afraid.
I tried using the send command and Revolution still wants to complete the dissolve before relinquishing the keyboard back to the end user. It basically wants to finish this sequence... show button "myButton" with visual effect dissolve wait 2 seconds hide button "myButton" with visual effect dissolve ...first and then relinquishes command back to the keyboard for user input. I want the above sequence to proceed while the user continues to type input into various fields that are on the screen with NO interruption. Possible? N P.S. Dar, I would be very interested in your primer. It would be a very interesting read.111 -----Original Message----- From: Steve Gehlbach [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2003 4:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Multithread/Background function execution in Rev? >> 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'. Dar > Scott 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? -Steve ------------------------------------------------ ***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 _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
