I created a first-person engine in Director that isn't 3D...it allows you to
move around in a choppy environment much like old RPG games (Might and
Magic). It has to render 10 rooms at a time, and uses about 15 different
handlers to render each room (through 10 different scripts). The problem is
that it's updating the stage as the screens are being rendered. The
renderings have resizing, member, and visible changing, so there's a lot
going on. It looks real sloppy since it's not updating the next screen all at
once. Each handler calls to another handler. It's like one big chain reaction.
I'm not sure how exactly it's updating. Is it doing it because it's entering
the next frame? If so, can I somehow pause on the movie's frame until I'm
done rendering the screen?
