problems with app.scheduleTask

[lloydalvarez]

I am writing a script where i want to delay the calling of a function, but i seem to be having some odd behavior from app.scheduleTask

I can call the function, but it doesn't pass the variables to it.

So

Code: Select all

app.scheduleTask("myFunction();",1000,0)    // this works

myFunction(value1,value2);  // this also works

app.scheduleTask("myFunction(value1,value2);",1000,0)  // this doesn't work

is there something special about scheduleTask that i am missing?

Hello Lloyd,

my "scheduleTask/cancelTask" test seems to work, look at this script and you will hopefully find why that does not work for you.

(to be totally honest I've never used this method until this evening)

var myScript = "myFunction(val);";

I hadn't thought of putting the string in a variable.. thanks for the tip i am defintely going to try it..
