You have one too many 'end if' statements in your code.

It's difficult to know what is happening (you don't say), especially since you give no clues as to what the text of member "MyText" contains or, more generally, what you're trying to achieve. You're obviously wanting to pause on a particular frame until the text of a member is a certain character, but how do you initialise this text member and where is the code you posted attached? For example, if the code is in the frameScript channel and member("MyText") is anything other than "x" or "y" when it runs then the playhead will breeze past this frame and onto the next one.

This may be what you are trying to do:

on exitFrame me

  if member("MyText").text = "y" then

    startTimer

    go next

  else

    go the frame

  end if

end exitFrame

Another approach would be to use the exitframe handler for nothing but pausing on a frame and then take the action of going to the next frame in your button script.

on mouseDown me

    member("MyText").text = "y"

    startTimer

    go next

end mouseDown

I did not understand that you want to use the timer to delay the jump to the next frame. I would use a timeout object to create the delay

Try this frame script. I assume you are using D10 or later.

property Paused  -- true/false flag indicating in paused state

on beginSprite me

  Paused = false

end

on exitFrame me

  if member ("Recording"). text = "stoRegistrando" AND Not Paused then

    tmp = timeout().new("paused_"&me, 3000,  #goNext, me) -- 3000 = 3 second delay

    Paused = true

  end if

  go the frame

end exitFrame

on goNext me, timeOb

  timeOb.forget()

  go next

end goNext

--------------------------------------------------

Or, like I mentioned above just pause on the frame and use a button script to go to the next marker.

on mouseDown me

  member ("Recording"). text = "stoRegistrando"

  tmp = timeout().new("paused_"&me, 3000,  #goNext, me) -- 3000 = 3 second delay

end mouseDown

on goNext me, timeOb

  timeOb.forget()

  go next

end goNext

You don't say what happens when the mouse script does not work.

I'm also confused by what you are trying to accomplish. My best guess is that you are saving a sound file and you want the save to complete before moving to another frame.

Timeout objects are great for monitoring/polling a condition because they will continue to call a handler at a regular interval until you forget them. The pseudo code for saving an audio file and then waiting for it to complete before moving to another frame would be:

on mouseDown me

  member ("Recording"). text = "stoRegistrando"

  soundObjRef.save("C:\audio.wav")

  tmp = timeout().new("paused_"&me, 500,  #isSaveDone, me) -- 500 = 0.5 second delay

end mouseDown

on isSaveDone me, timeOb

  if soundObjRef.isSaving()then

    put "Still saving sound file"

  else

    timeOb.forget()

    put "Done saving sound file."

    go next

  end if

end isSaveDone

Note:  This code is untested and will need to be modify to work.
