multiple «timer.performWithDelay»'s at the same time.

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hi guys! I have a piece of code where I need to que (?) - to plan to execute few subroutines with different delays starting from same time. i.e

timer.performWithDelay(1000, …, 1)

timer.performWithDelay(5000, …, 1)

timer.performWithDelay(8000, …, 1)

timer.performWithDelay(9000, …, 1)

But they are starting at the same time. Are these different instances of timer.performWithDelay or one same and I’m only changing it’s params?

Otherwords can I start few instances of this function, not only reference?

That is four separate timers.  While the same underlying Corona code tracks them and progresses them, they are ignorant of each other.

You can have as many overlapping timers as you like.

#3

Now I’m sure I have something wrong in one part of code and all goes good in another.

I didn’t found clarification of this nuance so I want to be sure how this works to know how this part of code must work.

Thanks a lot!
