Stuck with the for loop and animation

rrraptor

I'm new to this forum and my english not realy good, sorry.

So, i stucked with animation.
Here is the video of what i wanted: (dont know how to paste it with tag, sry )
I were made it by using timers. Like that:

function onAnimate(P) P:animate() -- updating picture of piece (P) P:shake(.7, 10, 10) end   function tap(x,y) -- some code for ix = a, b do -- vertical line if Array[y][ix] ~= 0 then -- checking if cell not empty Array[y][ix]:switchState(false) -- switching value without updating a picture local aTimer = Timer.new(delay, 1) -- delay is calculated dynamically (something like that: (ix-2)*25) aTimer:start() aTimer:addEventListener(Event.TIMER_COMPLETE, onAnimate, Array[y][ix]) else break end end end

Each piece stored in the "Array" (as object ofcourse), and it have two states (on/off), also it have three methods:

-- update picture function Piece:animate() if self:contains(self.frames[math.abs(self.state-2)]) then self:removeChild(self.frames[math.abs(self.state-2)]) end if not self:contains(self.frames[self.state+1]) then self:addChild(self.frames[self.state+1]) end end   function Piece:setState(s, animate) self.state = s if animate then self:animate() end if self.arrow ~= nil then self:addChild(self.arrow) end end   function Piece:switchState(animate) if animate == nil then animate = true end self:setState(math.abs(self.state-1), animate) end

Everything works fine on my PC, but on Android device GiderosAndroidPlayer crashing if i'll be touching pieces very fast.
Any ideas how to make this effect without timers? Or how to avoid crashes on mobile devices...
And again, sorry for my bad language

Ok, i solved this problem...sorry to trouble you...

Just added timer to Piece class:

function Piece:init(...) -- some code here self.aTimer = Timer.new(0, 1) self.aTimer:addEventListener(Event.TIMER_COMPLETE, self.aTimerComplete, self) end   function Piece:aTimerComplete() self:animate() self:shake(.7, 10, 10) end   function Piece:startAnimation(t) self.aTimer:reset() self.aTimer:setDelay(t) self.aTimer:start() end

and calling method "startAnimation" in loop.
