Moving Multiple Objects

[Phil Davis]

Hi Judy,

I'm pretty bleery-eyed at this time of day, but I reorganized your code 
slightly and got improved (I think) results. Here's what I did:

on preOpenCard -- no changes here
   set the loc of image "BStone1.gif" to 326,152
   set the loc of image "Bstone2.gif" to 215,155
   set the loc of image "BStone3.gif" to 268,242
end preOpenCard


on openCard -- removed some code
   set lockMoves to true
   move image "BStone1.gif" to 588,-72 in 2 secs without waiting
   move image "BStone2.gif" to -65,-21 in 2 secs without waiting
   move image "BStone3.gif" to 290,459 in 2 secs without waiting
   set lockMoves to false
end openCard


on moveStopped -- new handler
   if the movingControls <> empty -- something is still moving
   then -- defer action
     exit moveStopped
   end if

   -- if all movement has ended, GO!
   visual effect dissolve
   go next card
end moveStopped


See if this does what you need.
