[SOLVED] Imagebutton action to show an animation and run a function consecutively

[Wiceramond]

Hi!

I want to make an on screen loading animation when I click an imagebutton. How do I use the "action" part to do that? I want loading animation to be shown on screen (can be bunch of images too, doesn't matter as long as it's working) then do the Function() parts I provided.

I can show an animation and do the Function but the problem is that I need imagebutton action to run the Function after the animation is done, but they all work at the same time.

Thanks in advance!

Code: Select all

screen animation(img, time, *actions):
    # automatically hides the screen on timer end, if not then just use `action actions`
    timer time action (list(actions) + [Hide("animation")])
    add img

Then in your action...

Code: Select all

# assuming the animation lasts for 12 seconds and the animation was defined using the `image` statement
action Show("animation", None, "your defined animation", 12, Function(...))

Thank you so much, it works like a charm!
