Achilles Heel of Livecode

[Erik Beugelaar]

If you want to have a really sexy development with fancy animation stuff, take a look at the brochure of WinDev.
It's a French based company so I don't have to add any comment ;-)

    So, if I have a series of images being flipped-through inside a graphic 
    'frame' and DON'T
    have any *wait* statements the thing happens so quickly I cannot see the 
    animation at all: so, to get
    60 frames a second, presumably, one has to have a *wait 1 tick* 
    statement between each frame change?
    
    That is easy to do with frame animations . . .
    
    Bit is it re scrolling?

The film was projected at 24 frames per second, and all normal movies you’ve seen in a cinema were also at 24 frame per second. PAL TV is 25 frames per second, and NTSC is 30 frame per second. So, those frame rates are clearly acceptable.

Open a browser on a mobile device and scroll the page. It’s smoothly updating at 60 frame per second. I think that’s what people are asking for, not animated GIFs.
