Example: [js highlight=”5″ try=”true”]newText(“pleasewait”, “Please wait 1s.”) .print() , newTimer(“wait”, 1000) .start() .wait() , getText(“pleasewait”) .remove() [/js] The code above adds the text Please wait 1s to the screen, starts a 1000ms timer and wait until it is done before removing the text.
