Need some ideas, please. First idea: Don't use repeat loops. Second idea: Set a flag. Third idea: Query that flag on exitFrame and move the sprite. Something like this: PROPERTY pyMyMotion, pnMyTargetH on beginSprite me pyMyMotion = #none END beginSprite on exitFrame me if pyMyMotion #none then me.MoveIt() end if END exitFrame on Motion me, yDirection, pH pyMyMotion = yDirection pnMyTargetH = pH END Motion on MoveIt me if pyMyMotion = #left then if sprite(me.spriteNum).locH pnMyTargetH then sprite(me.spriteNum).locH = sprite(me.spriteNum).locH + 1 else pyMyMotion = #none end if else if sprite(me.spriteNum).locH pnMyTargetH then sprite(me.spriteNum).locH = sprite(me.spriteNum).locH - 1 else pyMyMotion = #none end if end if END MoveIt You'd call it like this: sendSprite ( whatever, #motion, #left, 500 ) or sendSprite ( whatever, #motion, #right, 10 ) Should do it. It'll theoretically update as fast as your framerate.

Too, Apple advises against them when running under OSX. The OS will pop up that cute beachball cursor during loops.

lingo-l moving a sprite from off to on stage
Hi All: SYS INFO: D85, WIN98SE, 128Mbs RAM I need to move a sprite from off stage to a specific location on stage, pH, using Lingo. I've tried several ideas,but can't get it. Need some ideas, please. Here's part of a behavior I'm calling with sendSprite, but the sprite appears to quick! --from another script I use this: sendsprite(21,#motion, left, pH) --and here's part of that #motion behavior: case(whichDirection) of left: repeat while sprite(21).locH pH sprite(21).locH = sprite(21).locH + 1 updateStage end repeat end case What I get is sprite 21 appearing instantly in position pH, as opposed to sliding on stage, or flying-in smoothly. Can't use Score/sprite spans. Would rather use Lingo anywho. Tried a couple of ideas to slow down the repeat loop, but timeout() doesn't do it, the timer doesn't do it. Shirley, there is a way to make this happen in Lingo. Thanks much for your ideas and comments, John H...stranded on Lingo Island. -- __ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
