Make www calls synchronously from unityscript

Questions & Answers
1

I have code like this:

function getScroll() {
    var w = WWW("http://some.url.com/chicken.txt");    
    yield(w);
}

...

getScroll();
some_stuff();

This code is asynchronous – some_stuff() gets executed before the web page has been retrieved. What I’d like is to make the WWW call synchronous, so that some_stuff() gets executed only after the contents of getScroll() have completely finished.

I found some C# code that uses co-routines, but I don’t speak C# and I can’t translate it into Unityscript. I have a crappy Unityscript solution, which is the following:

function getScroll() {
    var w = WWW("http://some.url.com/chicken.txt");
    while (!w.isDone) {
        WaitForSeconds(1.0);
    }
}

...
getScroll();
some_stuff();

But inside the while loop, it’s not actually waiting 1 second – it’s just cycling through as fast as it can, not relinquishing the thread. Can someone tell me how to create the functionality I’m looking for in Unityscript?

function getScroll() {
    var w : WWW = new WWW("http://some.url.com/chicken.txt");    
    yield w;
}

function job() {
    yield StartCoroutine("getScroll");
    some_stuff();
}

StartCoroutine("job");
