the docs etc all point to doing it "another way" :)
I've used it with success. In one project, I had a stack that needed to
show frames of an animated gif under script control. It had to wait
between frames for an amount of time that was passed to the handler in a
parameter. But at the same time, a user needed to be able to do other
things, like click a button or leave the card. So I used a repeat loop
that would play the frames while checking simultaneously for user
actions. A simplified excerpt was something like this:
repeat with x = tStart to tStop -- a frame range
if gFlag = true then exit repeat
set the currentframe of img 1 to x
wait myVar milliseconds with messages -- allows user actions
end repeat
If the user clicked a button, a mouseup was sent normally (which is what
the "with messages" part allows) and the button script executed at the
same time the animation was running. Depending on the user action, the
button script either set the global flag "gFlag" so that the repeat loop
would stop, or did something else while the looping continued.
