<br>
I try to implement a blocking animation so that the process waits for the animation to be terminated before going ahead. This animation should lower the extent of a Morph in 20 iterations so that it looks like it would shrink.<br>
<br>
I tried to accomplish that in a '1 to: 20 do:' loop but the Morph is not updated during the iterations. I tried 'morph changed' but that doesn't work either. It does work, however, if I fork the animation loop. But than I have an extra process an need Semaphores to wait for its execution. That's not as simple as it could be.<br>
<br>
Is there any better way than fork and Semaphore? Maybe some force redraw method I have overlooked?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance!<br>
