If a beginner was asking this question, I would skip the thread and move on because...come on. LC is single-threaded.
HOWEVER, wait with messages brings up an interesting problem - how to tell if a script that was waiting...with messages is waiting, or is dead, perhaps exited. I don't really want to do the compile/launch workaround, because I want to be able to have Bad Things trip the debugger, which is hard to do with standalones. I suppose I could have the script update a global each time it begins a wait, and then have the cron script look for that, and if we're past a certain time, assume that the wait is over, but that assumes I don't introduce some error, later and forget to update the variable. -- On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth On the second day, God created the oceans. On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours, and did a little diving. And God said, "This is good." _______________________________________________ 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
