WWW download in background during position animation

Questions & Answers
1

Is it possible to have WWW not freeze up the entire Unity app, i.e., have the download happen “in the background”, while a gameobject animation is being carried through?

Put it in a coroutine. Here is a segment from my VersionCheck script.

 public IEnumerator CheckVersion()
        {
            Busy.SetActive(true);
    
            yield return 1;
    
            if (Application.internetReachability == NetworkReachability.NotReachable)
            {
                DoFail(string.Format(ErrorMessage, "Internet not reachable"));
    
                yield break;
            }
    
            var www = new WWW(ApiUrl);
    
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);
            yield return www;
            yield return 1;
    
            var v = www.text.Replace("\"", "");
    
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(www.error))
            {
                DoFail(string.Format(ErrorMessage, www.error));
            }
    
            else if (Version != v)
            {
                DoFail(string.Format(FailMessage, v));
            }
            else
            {
                Close();
            }
        }

I asked a very similar question, and it’s all working now.
