Problems with AE4

I can't seem to use the "wait" function alongside an AE4 function. For examle:
Code: Select all
aeFadeIn the long id of image "img1", 800
wait for 1600 milliseconds
aeFadeIn the long id of image "img2", 1600
This code goes crazy and doesn't work like expected. I even tried cross-fading once the first image loaded. Am I missing something?

Hi,
if you want to wait, you will need to make sure that messages can pass. If you use
wait 1600 milliseconds with messages
all should work as expected.
Hope that helps,
Malte

So here is what I did.
Code: Select all
on openCard
aeFadeIn the long id of image "img", 1000
wait 1000 milliseconds with messages
aeFadeIn the long id of image "img2", 1000
end openCard
What it does is wait 1 second then fade both images at the same time. Can't figure out why. I have tried so many combinations.

I got it working with sort of a hack.
Code: Select all
on openCard
send "splash2" to me in 1.5 seconds
aeFadeIn the long id of image "splash", 500
end openCard
on splash2
send "nextCard" to me in 2 seconds
set the visible of image "splash2" to true
aeFadeOut the long id of image "splash", 1000
end splash2
on nextCard
visual effect dissolve fast
go to next card
end nextCard
Unfortunately this run VERY choppy. I use AE in other parts of my app and it works fine.
