App Inventor does not have the php switch, case, break or default instructions Robert.
Instead, the Block 'language',provides conditional statements from which a developer can program something similar to what you described
There is no break command. App Inventor processes instructions asynchronously. If one does indeed requires a 'pause', one uses the Clock component. There is no wait or break.
You can learn about the various App Inventor commands here
or using these resources to help you learn to use the AI2 tools A very good way to learn App Inventor is to read the free Inventor's Manual here in the AI2 free online eBook
http://www.appinventor.org/book2 ... the links are at the bottom of the Web page. The book 'teaches' users how to program with AI2 blocks.
