Re: FLASH: Will this loop work?

[John Dowdell]

Loops are great for fast processing. They're not good for waiting for user

input.


If you're waiting for user input, try periodically checking for the input

in a frame action instead of keeping the computer bound up in the tight

little "while" loop.


The difference? When you're going from frame to frame the computer and the

application have time to do other things. Script loops, though, are

designed to execute quickly and move on to something else... if you stay in

a script for many seconds on end then you may not see other things happen

on the computer until you exit.
