LiveCode Forums.

Okay, I want two images to race along the screen via two separate polygons. The problem I have is that when I run the script they don't go at the same time. e.g. Image "B" goes first and then Image "A" goes after the first has completed this action.
Here is a piece of the code. (Note: movementspeed is a variable set by the user).

Is there a way for both pieces of code to start at the same time? Or is there another way around this?

Thanks in advance

Try before and after your move commands.

If you need more control about movement, you might want to look at animationEngine.

Nope, I haven't heart of Matt9536...

Altough I'm not currently at a system I can try this on - it all sounds good! Seems like all I really needed was the 'without waiting'....

Thanks for the help
