Hi, Richard. I tried a frame based demo animation with one main
animation loop that locks the screen then updates all objects. I found
that instead of trying to update certain objects at frame X, etc,
updating everything on every frame worked best (for this particular demo
anyway). Objects don't have to be updated by whole pixels at a time -
an object could, for example move by 0.1 pixels per frame. You keep
track of the decimal numbers (I used arrays) and the object would only
really visibly update every 10th frame.
HTH

Hrm...can you abstract each little script enough to make little commands?
on appearFlower
set the loc of image "flower" to 400,401
set the height of image "flower" to 150
set the width of image "flower" to 150
end appearFlower
in frame 30:
appearFlower
Does that help?
I've tried something similar, but I think I've stumbled across the real problem
- my animation loop code must be awful, because the performance is terrible.
Inside of the loop, I just ran the following lines, one after the other:
put the long seconds into daStartSecs
answer the long seconds - daStartSecs
And I got something like .476. When I run those two lines outside of the loop,
I get .000001. So obviously I need to go back through the animation loop code
I wrote and figure out what I'm doing wrong. If I can figure this whole issue
out, I'll post it to the forum, because it'll be too long to put on the list.
Thanks for taking the time to respond to me, Ken - I really appreciate it. :)
