1019 - How can I play a movie after a half second pause?

by - Joseph Ganci

I have used the following code to display movies again after they have been deleted:

repeat with i := 1 to 4
DisplayIconNoErase(IconID@ValueAtIndex(MenuMovie, i))
end repeat

However, the movies start playing at the same time. Does anyone know how I can adapt the script to incorporate a .5 sec wait until the next movie starts?

Try this:

repeat with i := 1 to 4
DisplayIconNoErase(@MenuMovie[i])
SyncPoint(0)
SyncWait(0.5)
end repeat

I took the liberty of shortening the syntax in your function call as well, to show you an alternative approach. Also, you don't need the IconID term, just the @.
