Managing threads

Classes that are both active and reactive run on their own threads. In animated applications with multiple threads, the thread view enables you to control the execution of threads. The animator always maintains one thread in focus.

About this task

All thread-related operations are performed with respect to the focus thread:

A Go Step advances the focus thread one step. While the focus thread is executing, all other threads execute as much as they can until the moment the focus thread finishes executing this step. It is impossible to predict how far non-focus threads advance because their behavior depends on how the operating system scheduler behaves during run time.
