Speed of 'sliding a field'

[Ian Summerfield]

I have a G3 450MHz running OS X Revolution 1.1.1b2.   It took 27 ticks to
run.   BUT,  I was missing the effect - is that what you mean by choppiness?
I added an "unlock screen" before the "end repeat",  the effect is nicer.
I also added a timer,  here's the revised script:

on mouseup
   put 135 into startX
   put 82 into startY
   put 20 into startH
   put 134 into startW

   put 403 into endX
   put 227 into endY
   put 310 into endH
   put 246 into endW

   put endX-startX into netX
   put endY-startY into netY
   put endH-startH into netH
   put endW-startW into netW

   put 0 into x
  
   -- remember the time this loop started
   put the ticks into starttime
 
   repeat 25 times
     add 4 to x

     put ((x/100)*netX)+startX into nowX
     put ((x/100)*netY)+startY into nowY
     put ((x/100)*netH)+startH into nowH
     put ((x/100)*netW)+startW into nowW

     set the width of field "list1" to the round of nowW
     set the height of field "list1" to the round of nowH
     put the round of nowX into nowX
     put the round of nowY into nowY

     set the loc of field "list1" to nowX,nowY
     -- unlock screen redraws the screen
     unlock screen
  end repeat
 

  -- puts into the message box the time taken in ticks to run the loop
  put the ticks-starttime

end mouseup
