Well, Mark,
either shawn posts his code or someone should point him into the direction of non-blocking code in Rev. (Or both).
Rev is not multi-threaded. But as Richard and implicitly all others pointed out you can construct almost all your script in ways that are non-blocking, which of course is not multi-threaded since the commands are interwoven.
The concept is in my opinion well illustrated in the Resource Center (Help Menu) in Applications. A blocking and a non-blocking version of 99 bottles. "Display a count down"
May be this helps to make the point.

Bernd

Re: Multi-threading a button action?
"Exactly, Bernd, that's why I'm interested in seeing Shawn's script. Maybe he is doing more than just speaking."
It is, it is also highlighting the word as it is being read and keeping some statistics on the useage.

Maybe you really might want to share your script.

this sounds like a good candidate for the non-blocking options in Rev.shawn wrote:It is, it is also highlighting the word as it is being read and keeping some statistics on the useage.

Not being threaded is just shocking for any sort of current system, the 80s are long gone. I'm sure I could jump through a bunch of hoops to make this work the way I want but it would be cleaner/easier if I could just thread it.

Re: Multi-threading a button action?
either you want to be shocked (=blocked) or get something done. I urge you to get out of the shocked state and have a look at what can be done. What you are doing is just a couple of milliseconds needed (marking text, doing statistics etc) and you could easily use the rest of the seconds to do other things.shawn wrote:ot being threaded is just shocking for any sort of current system, the 80s are long gone.

Just curious, which 4th level language offers threading?, did you ever do threading in programming?

"Just curious, which 4th level language offers threading?"
No idea, I don't care what others can or can not do. I care what Revolution can or can not do.
If no others do that is all the more reason why Revolution should, it would differentiate itself from others. If others can and Revolution can't that also differentiates Revolution from the others.
"did you ever do threading in programming?"
Yes.
