LockMoves

[Nakia Brewer]

After playing with a test stack John Dixon sent me last night (Thanks John, you are the man!) I think the key with moving objects simultaneously is 
Making sure you include the 'without waiting' syntax.

The following works fine:
   lock moves
   move grc 5 to the points of grc 1 without waiting
   move grc 6 to the points of grc 2 without waiting
   move grc 7 to the points of grc 3 without waiting
   move grc 8 to the points of grc 4 without waiting 
   unlock moves

The following fails miserably:
   lock moves
   move grc 5 to the points of grc 1 
   move grc 6 to the points of grc 2 
   move grc 7 to the points of grc 3 
   move grc 8 to the points of grc 4 
   unlock moves

This works for me on Mavericks and LC 6.6.1.

on mouseUp
   set the location of graphic "Rectangle" to 100,100
   set the location of graphic "Round Rectangle" to 100,200
   set the location of graphic "Oval" to 100,300
   wait .7 seconds with messages
   set the lockMoves to true
   move graphic "Rectangle" rel 300,0 without waiting
   move graphic "Round Rectangle" rel 300,0 without waiting
   move graphic "Oval" rel 300,0 without waiting
   set the lockMoves to false
end mouseUp

What OS are you using?
