How to pause program execution?

Question

I'm developing a board game. It has the Board class, Coin class and Dice class.
The dice class has an animation to show the dice rolling. The coin class also has an animation to show the coin moving from start square to end square.
When user clicks on the dice the sequence of steps that take place are -
getRandomNumber();
dice.roll();
coin.move();
But the problem I'm facing is even before the dice rolling animation stops, the coin moving animation begins.
How can I pause the program execution so I can move to next line in program only when the animation in the previous is stopped?
or How can I change the logic so that it goes as desired.

Answer 1

Timelines (well, actually KeyFrames) have an action variable, where you can put a function doing whatever you need to do at the end of the key frame.
So, you can make your coin to move at the end of the dice animation (ie. calling coinAnimation.play() in the action of the last key frame of diceAnimation).
