Hello all,

I'm in an intro to Python class and I had to pick a project to do. It involves moving a bucket to collect balls. I tried this with pygame already, might I add, and I decided to do it with just tkinter.

My question is as follows. I have the left and right arrow keys correctly binded to move the bucket, and this works, up until the balls fall from the sky, when bind seems to not respond. I have a function called startBall which pretty much starts a new dropBall thread to actually drop the ball. startBall uses a random integer to determine how long between dropping balls. I just don't understand why the bucket no longer moves after dropBall starts. Help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Sometimes binding 2 events need a skip() function. eg.

def more_proc(self,event):
    """do your stuff here and call the skip() after that."""
       skip() ##  needed so that the event fall through to another event

Try including that. ;)
