[Project_owners] Sleep or wait function for JavaScript

[Didier Ernotte]

Javascript is not multiThreaded, you have to implement it manually with "yield" and "next".

Hi

I need to add sleep function in some procedure, I found some sleep function

function sleep(mTime)
{
  var sleeping = true;
  var now = new Date();
  var alarm;
  var startingMSeconds = now.getTime();

  while(sleeping){
     alarm = new Date();
     alarmMSeconds = alarm.getTime();
     if(alarmMSeconds - startingMSeconds > mTime)
        sleeping = false; 
  }
}

but it causes program to hang, any better sleep function ?

P.S: I cant use setTimeout function either
