So... if we use the wait command, and deploy to HTML5, the engine converts it to JavaScript with extra functions because the engine added in asynchronous timeouts? And you preserve all the variable values of the source LC script across these multiple functions?
Yes - that is essentially the 'asyncify' transformation as pertains to 'leaf' functions (those which call no other wait calling functions).
This was the easy solution?
Easy is always a comparative assertion (there's a reason I always say: 'easy', for some definition of 'easy').
Either I am misunderstanding, or the concept of what is difficult in Scotland is shedloads harder than what we puny Americans think.
Heh - I must confess first thing this morning (6am, after 4 hours sleep - I perhaps shouldn't have stayed up until 2am writing that lengthy email on this topic to here last night) I honestly couldn't 'parse' that sentence. I know get it completely - I must make a mental note to perhaps not read and reply to mailing lists until I've been awake for at least an hour, and had a suitable amount of coffee :)
Anyway, this thread has now spiralled into a behemoth - so I'm going to start a new one on this topic to stop it getting lost in a sea of not-quite-related things.
[ Also it gives me something to do whilst flying over the USA - currently somewhere between Kansas City and Springfield looking at our trajectory (this brings up all kinds of images in my mind - Simpsons and Wizard-of-Oz crossover anyone?) ]
