[plt-scheme] Re: MrEd - Animated canvas

Hi,

I have two new questions :

- To carry out my animation, i use a timer which calls a function
which refresh my canvas. If i use :

>(define (refresh canvas)
>  (send canvas refresh))
>
>(define TIMER-ANIMATION (new timer% (notify-callback (refresh canvas_2))))

This not perform, but if use this :

>(define (refresh)
>  (send canvas_2 refresh))

>(define TIMER-ANIMATION (new timer% (notify-callback refresh)))

It perform. I don't understand why.

- My second question :
The timer calls refresh who call paint-callback. In this method, i
draw the beater, the bricks and the balls of my wall-breaker.
However as my beater jerks at the time of displacement I wanted to use
a thread. But if I use a thread the beater flick.
I don't see why ?
