So... if we use the wait command, and deploy to HTML5, the engine converts it to JavaScript with extra functions because the engine added in asynchronous timeouts? And you preserve all the variable values of the source LC script across these multiple functions?

This was the easy solution?

Either I am misunderstanding, or the concept of what is difficult in Scotland is shedloads harder than what we puny Americans think.
