Perhaps I'm not understanding your comment, but I don't believe it's
correct. Try the following on a card (one button, one field):
[ button script ]
on mouseUp
repeat 3
send "doStuff" to me in 1 second
wait 500 millisecs with messages
end repeat
end mouseUp
on doStuff
put "got it" & cr after fld 1
end doStuff
You should get 3 lines placed in the field.
If you're doing anything that causes a blocking action in LiveCode (such
as displaying the answer dialog), it's possible that a sent-in-time
message could get skipped, but for the most part, you should be able to
queue up several of the same message, each with its own id.
