i have a problem i make a function ad sometimes it does a large process and when it runs it all the interface blocks for a moment, so i need a sleep function to stop my function for a moment and let the other movie clip run.

note sorry if i make mistakes writing, english is not my native language

Hop!
_global['sleep'] = function(nMilliseconds) {
dDate = new Date();
nCurrent = dDate.getTime();
nEnd = Number(nCurrent) + Number(nMilliseconds);
while(nCurrent < nEnd) {
dDate = new Date();
nCurrent = dDate.getTime();
}
}

Uh....all that function will do is lock up the entire Flash Player for a certain amount of time - it does not give time to other timelines. In fact, if you put a large enough value in there, you'll get the "Flash Player is running slowly" alert.

Effectively, it's a problem.

So, you can use my delayCommand function, here :

It's in french, but ActionScript is a universal language... :)

What "sleep" does in other systems is notify the process scheduler to *suspend* the current process and give time to other processes. Your function simply puts the current process into a busy loop, giving *no* time to other processes. It's completely useless for any purpose except wasting cycles.

ActionScript may be universal but your website seems to require you to do
something, only I can't figure out what...
