The program gets stuck When the code works In the Timer page

[webultra]

I would use lua socket module to test internet connection rather the AMS Http.TestConnection function, because it's 100x faster. I wrote an example on this forum long ago

Works great thanks. I hope that the new version of AMS will include functions like this And drag and drop files Like you helped me A few days. thanks!!!

There is two dependencies:

lanes
lua51-lanes.dll

in the cd root, you need to copy them to your project making sure they go in cd root.

Thank you for your excellent work but when I copy the code to my project I get the error "Lanes not Loaded".
I saw code in three places. On Show, On Timer and Global Function. Maybe I missed something????
It is important to say your project works great and even I copy your code to a new project it gives me this error.

It's here

Lanes Example.apz

Didn't need your project after all.

Thank you, I really would love

I got the images from the default folder so here is a working example:

Lanes Example.apz

You'll need to do an On Close event to stop the timer and give it a sec for any lane that might be running to finish otherwise you might get an error on exit/page jump although on testing I never.

If you export your project and post a link then I dont mind adding the Lanes stuff to it.

It really really really really complex for me :-(
I use AMS because of the ease of development but it's really not easy. I did not understand anything. :-)
Is there an example for more understandable and easy???

You can't have a thread per say but you can use a Lane to stop the GUI being blocked, just modify the FileFind function to be an OnTimer function and your background will change without any noticeable issues.

the stuck is for some second Every few seconds. can i open a new thread in AMS??? for this code.

page: on show
Page.StartTimer(3000, 10);


page: on timer
connected = HTTP.TestConnection("http://www.jfunc.com", 20, 80, nil, nil);

if connected then
Image.Load("Image1", "AutoPlay\\Images\\Bullet-001.png");
else
Image.Load("Image1", "AutoPlay\\Images\\Bullet-003.png");
end
