I have written this code for timeout:
on exitFrame me
go to the frame
if the timeoutLapsed300 then
to to frame 2
This script works fine in my test project but not in my real project.
Can anyone suggest a reason?
Tho only difference I can think of is that my test project was built
from scratch

I think you'll find that any code after the go to the frame is
ignored, try swapping the statements.

Hello again,
I have a question regarding timeout objects.
Let's assume we have a behavior that creates a timeout object. Let's
further assume that the behavior will be attached to two different sprites.
When the timeout handler is executed how do I know to which sprite it
corresponds?

instructions?
Which is a sound concept because it is preferable to target messages
directly to given objects rather

I've been meaning to post this for some time--now that I have a couple days
free, here it is.
I've observed an interesting side effect of timeout objects. Here are two
versions of the same piece. This one has a timeout object:

by an 'exercise' behavior. Inside this behavior there's a 'on blinkThem me'

I don't think 'timeout' objects co-exist with 'on timeout' handler.

I'm finally diving into the new D8 - specific stuff and I'm a little
confused about timeout objects, if someone could just push me along in
the right direction
From what I've read, timeout objects aren't really 'timeouts', are they?
They seem to be scheduled events really in that
From what I've been able to gather, there's been a fair amount of confusion
generated over the seeming amibiguities of the timer, the timeOut, and
timeOut objects. They are all horses of a different color, but the
nomenclature arrived at by the Director team for these bits of Lingo leaves
a bit
Hello Lingo-Ls,
Does anyone know how to create timeout even when the animation is being
played? I have an animated company logo on the movie and I want it to go
back to the splash screen if idle for 36 second (60*60). (field "timer" as
shown below shows how many seconds left to 0). Because of the

Are you using D8? If you are, I'll give you a timeout that'll solve your
problems.

Thanks for the definitions you posted some day ago. They are
so neat that it was worth while trying to show how they well
fit to a hardware device that generates e.g. a squared waveform.
Thia comparison helped to reformulate my request to Macromedia

Thank to Roy Pardy and Andreas Gaunitz for their suggestions on
how to mute a timer. Here's some further notes about this.

For want of a .enabled prop, imo this is the best
b) Or you want the timer to reset on exitFrame. In this case you
would not get a timer - you'd get something that stutters every
exitFrame.
I'm not sure of having well understood this second case you posed
as a distinction.
By 'resetting' I meant something like (Alpha):

Timeouts objects are a great feture of the new Director

able to send events to any previously defined method in
another class or to a movie level handler.

1) You can 'mute' a timer by using:
myTimeoutObject.timeOutHandler = ""
and unmute it by setting the timeOutHandler to whatever handler you need.
I've never tried that -

Hi Luke,
The funny thing is I'm sure this is the first thing I tried and it
didn't work but now it's fine. Maybe I should try the first thing last
in the future.

Just a hunch:
Is your parent script actually a Movie script?
Declaring a global 'new' handler could probably lead to errors.
