Adobe Community: Message List - Wait or hold

Re: Wait or hold

You have a couple of options.

The quick-and-dirty (and not recommended) solution is to tie up your processor doing nothing for 2 seconds:

tMillis = the milliseconds + 2000

repeat while the milliseconds < tMillis

nothing

end repeat

A better solution is to use a timeout object and a callback handler (I can't tell if the code you posted is in a behavior script attached to a sprite or in a movie script):

-- yadda yadda

t = timeout().new("goNext", 2000, #mNavigate, 0)

-- add this new handler to a movie script

on mNavigate padParameter, aTimeout

if ilk(aTimeout, #timeout) then aTimeout.forget()

go next

end

Wait or hold
