the magic phrase is "without waiting" :-)

on mouseUp
   set the lockmoves to true
   move  button "marker" to the points of graphic "myCycloid"  in 2500  
milliseconds without waiting
   move graphic "myCircle" to the points of graphic "myLine" in 2500  
milliseconds without waiting
   set the lockmoves to false
end mouseUp
