how would I create a function like dbMove Object, that when called, automaticly calls itsself a certain number of times per second untill the operation it was told to do is finnished? Is it possible?

Thanks!

Oh woops! I didn't realize that dbMoveObject doesn't actualy apply over multiple frames. Either way, the principal stands... how would I create a function that when called, automaticly calls itself untill it has performed its job?

Thanks, sorry for the confusion.

You can't. You'll have to call the function each frame to move it, even if you hide it in a wrapper for the dbSync function.

The way I'd do it -
Create a class that will hold destination coords, speed and an object number, then call a 'move' member function to adjust the objects coords until it reaches the destination.

How I'd get that class created or called would depend very much on the structure of the rest of the program, but it could be something as simple as having a list of pointers to that class, and an automatic update of all objects pointed to by that list being updated in a sync wrapper.

Yeah! I thought as much. Thanks!

A shame though.... I loved being able to make functions like that in flash actionscript.

That will do exactly the same as I described - it's just hidden from you. Details may differ, but the basic idea will be identical.
