Hi Michael,
[snip] Here is my test script that takes 2680 milliseconds to run: [/snip]
970 on my g4-400 X.2.6
But I think that test doesn�t match the problem. I guess you wouldn�t want to refresh the screen inside a repeat loop and you didn�t do it in your original script.
The slow screen update you see is indeed a quartz rendering issue. If you add the line
wait 0 with messages
in your original script between lock screen and unlock screen it speeds up.
[snip] ...and before someone asks, no, the slowness is not related to polling the mouse: commenting out that line doesn't change the update rates. [/snip]
I�m seeing it speeding up if I remove the if statement, but then there is no good way of getting out of the loop.Have you thought about using timers?
on mouseUp if the flag of me is empty then set the flag of me to -1 set the flag of me to the flag of me*-1 set the l of me to the left of grc 1 set the w of me to the width of grc 1 set the t of me to the top of grc 1 set the h of me to the height of grc 1 if the flag of me=1 then animatePoints end mouseUp
on animatePoints
--make randomly placed points
lock screen
put empty into myPoints
repeat 100
put the l of me + random(the w of me) into x
put the t of me + random(the h of me) into y
put x,y & return after mypoints
end repeat--display them
wait 0 with messages
set the points of grc 2 to myPoints
unlock screenif the flag of me=1 then send animatePoints to me in 1 millisecond
end animatePoints
Cheers,
