Wait with messages

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Curry,

There might be a problem caused by the fact that the script is  
currently running, but since I don't see how you change x, I am not  
sure about this. Usually, I use a custom property or the hilite of a  
button rather than a variable (which in your case seems to be set and  
read in the same script). Also, I can imagine that waiting with  
messages halfway the repeat loop doesn't work perfectly. I always put  
the wait statement at the end of the loop.

Also, the repeat loop itself doesn't run with messages. What always  
works for me is:

repeat forever with messages -- I rarely use forever btw
   if someCondition then
     -- do something
   else exit repeat
   wait 0 millisecs with messages
end repeat

You might need to re-think the design of your repeat loop. Why do you  
need to check x two times? Is it possible for the user to determine  
whether s/he will click before the first or the second wait statement?

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
