After playing with a test stack John Dixon sent me last night (Thanks John, you are the man!) I think the key with moving objects simultaneously is Making sure you include the 'without waiting' syntax.
The following works fine: lock moves move grc 5 to the points of grc 1 without waiting move grc 6 to the points of grc 2 without waiting move grc 7 to the points of grc 3 without waiting move grc 8 to the points of grc 4 without waiting unlock moves The following fails miserably: lock moves move grc 5 to the points of grc 1 move grc 6 to the points of grc 2 move grc 7 to the points of grc 3 move grc 8 to the points of grc 4 unlock moves Nakia Brewer | Technology & Solutions Manager | Equipment Management Solutions t: (02) 49645051 | m: 0458 713 547 | i: www.westrac.com.au ACN 009 342 572 -----Original Message----- From: use-livecode [mailto:use-livecode-boun...@lists.runrev.com] On Behalf Of Dar Scott Sent: Monday, 19 May 2014 7:44 AM To: How to use LiveCode Subject: Re: LockMoves This works for me on Mavericks and LC 6.6.1. on mouseUp set the location of graphic "Rectangle" to 100,100 set the location of graphic "Round Rectangle" to 100,200 set the location of graphic "Oval" to 100,300 wait .7 seconds with messages set the lockMoves to true move graphic "Rectangle" rel 300,0 without waiting move graphic "Round Rectangle" rel 300,0 without waiting move graphic "Oval" rel 300,0 without waiting set the lockMoves to false end mouseUp What OS are you using?
