I'm polishing up a nifty App to submit to the sites, but I'm stuck on
one thing.

Part of the App involves creating a (very) long list in a ScrollView.
I want to be able to stop the listing without crashing my App, once
I'm happy with how long the list is.  Currently, there is a "Start" button
that starts the listing.  I'd like to make it so that this button
turns into a "Stop" button while the list is going, so that if
I push it again, the method creating the list just stops, just like
ScorePlayer, for example, whose start button turns into a stop button.

The problem seems to be that my App won't respond to button pushes
while the list-making method is working.  I've tried messing around
with [myButton setState:state] and things like this, but nothing
in my App responds until this one method finishes.

Surely someone out there can suggest how I get a Start/Stop toggle
button that actually works...


Oh, and by the way,  how will I go about submitting this to the ftp
sites once I fix this "last bug?"
