interrupting a repeat loop

[Jacques Hausser]

Hi Tim

it depends of the kind of loop you are using. Several possibilities For example in a card script:

local stoploop

command runTheLoop
   repeat forever
      if stoploop = "S" then exit repeat
      -- do what you want
      wait 10 milliseconds with message
   end repeat
end runTheLoop

on keyDown thekey
    put thekey into stoploop
end keydown

The "wait x milliseconds with message" is the important trick here.
