send "goToNextFrame" to img "Gif A" in gSpeedA ticks (or milliseconds)
were gSpeedA is a global variable that contains the current speed setting for gif A.
Your start button will set both gSpeedA & gSpeedB to the initial time between frames.
In each image's script (written in pseudo-code, you'll have to convert it into proper Transcript):
Gif A:
on goToNextFrame
set the frame counter to the next frame (or back to 1)
increment gSpeedA until it reaches your stopping time
send "goToNextFrame" to me in gSpeedA ticks unless it has reached the stop time
end goToNextFrame
Gif B:
on goToNextFrame
set the frame counter to the next frame (or back to 1)
increment gSpeedB if gSpeedA is at the stopping time
send "goToNextFrame" to me in gSpeedB ticks unless it has reached the stop time
end goToNextFrame

Hello,
On my stack, clicking a single button causes two animated gifs (spinners) to
start moving frame by frame. Moreover, because frame speeds for both these
"spinner" images need to randomly vary and thereby reproduce a "natural"
slowing down effect, that same start-button's script uses "set the
currentFrame to x" to step the gif's thru each frame instead of merely
letting them run their course "naturally" at their own built-in frame speed.
Anyway, that part of the script I've got worked out -- thanks to prior
advice from the list. The difficulty now is how to script a simultaneous
effect within the one button's script, so that one spinner keeps spinning at
a constant rate while the other spinner begin to slow down and eventually
stop, at which point the first spinner too begins to slow and stop.
That sounds confusing even to me, so maybe I should outline the basic overall process I'm after:
----------------------
(STEP 1)
Click a start button to begin moving animated gif A and animated gif B at
the same per-frame rate;
(STEP 2) When the start button is released:
(a) animated gif A begins to slow down at a randomly set"deceleration"
speed, while
(b) animated gif B continues spinning in the background at a constant
rate;
(STEP 3) When animated gif A is eventually stopped, animage gif B also
begins to "decelerate" at a randonly set per-frame speed, and eventually
stops.
(STEP 4) Display the two results as determined by each animated gif's final
position (i.e., its currentFrame property)
-----------------------
I hope that all makes sense :-)
