How can I avoid the mouse click during a short period of time???

[LAGRO]

Hello to all!!!

I have a projector movie that opens another projector movie when a specific
button is clicked.

It works fine , but, if the user double ckick the button a message window
appears informing the error.

How can I avoid the mouse click after the first click, during 4 or 5
secounds, that is the time left to open the other projector and then, set it
to run again after that time?

Is possible to verify the windowPresent for projector.exe as it is possiblo
to MIAW???


Thanks a lot!!!

You can't "avoid" a mouseClick because that's up to the user but if you want
to avoid executing code that's in the mouseDown or mouseUp handlers then you
can do this

property pS, spriteNum, pTimer

on beginSprite me
pS = sprite (spriteNum)
pDelay = 5 * 60 -- 5 is the number of seconds to protect from other
mouseUp's getting through
pTimer = the ticks - pDelay
end

on mouseUp me
if the ticks > pTimer + pDelay then
-- exectute the code to launch the projector or whatever other code
is neccessary.
pTimer = the ticks
end if
end

Using the above code the mouseUp event won't execute the code more than once
every 5 seconds if the button is clicked continuously. But of course you
run into all sorts of system operations when a file is launching so those
can't be controlled confidently but can be monitored in some cases with
buddyAPI or MasterApp. If you understand the system (Windows) then you can
see when a window becomes available and also check to see when an app is
launched, etc.
