Please tell me why this doesn’t work:on mouseUp put "start" wait for 5 seconds put "stop" end mouseUp “start” never appears in the message box and after 5 seconds, “stop” appears
The wait command is blocking anything else from happening (like updating the messagebox). After five seconds the messagebox gets "start" followed immediately by "stop".
To allow events to happen while waiting try on mouseUp put "start" wait for 5 seconds with messages put "stop" end mouseUp -- Mark Wieder ahsoftw...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
