Ken,
Thanks for your careful test. This is driving me nuts and I can't find a
work-around.
I think the problem is RR not doing a screen refresh after each of the MULTIPLE
steps. (I have always, in OS 10) had to do a refresh after EACH step.
Would you please try this for me:
on mouseUp
put 200 into x
put 200 into y
put 2 into dx
put 1 into dy
repeat 100 times
put x,y & cr after tPoints
add dx to x
end repeat
put 200 into x
put 200 into y
repeat 200
put x,y & cr after tNewPoints
add dy to y
end repeat
lock moves
move button "one" to tNewPoints without waiting
move button "two" to tPoints without waiting
unlock moves
end mouseUp
When I tried your script I got what you got: Smooth motion. But with the
script above, eliminating possible problems with the graphics, I get
herky-jerky motion with the second move. I suspect it is due to the multiple
steps in the move.
Running RR 4.6.3 and Mac OS 10.6.8
Thanks again,
Jim
