Hi Courtney,
If you want to keep a responsive GUI, you have to set the priority of the
new thread lower than the Request Dispatching Thread (RDT).
I.e.
Thread t = new Thread(new MyRunnableMovieExporter(ArrayList someArgs));
t.setPriority(Thread.MIN_PRIORITY);
t.start();
Continue work in the main thread.
Actually there are several different priority levels to choose from (see the
SUN API), but if you want to be sure that the levels work, stick to the
constants in Thread.
Regards
Thor

Subject: Multi-threading
I am having an issue while multithreading. When I try to export a movie to a
file (the exporting is handled by a new thread), my UI will lockup (i.e.
spinning wheel cursor) until the movie has finished exporting. Is this just
part of the beast? Or is there another step that I must take in
multi-threading an application?
thanks,
Courtney
