What would be the best way to have the value of x update before the pause (or a similarly slow function) finishes executing?

x = 0; Dynamic[{x, Button["+1", x++; Pause[3]]}]

You need , Method -> "Queued" for `Button. – Kuba Aug 16 '13 at 19:00
@Kuba Thanks. When I was playing with Method->"Queued", I had the button action statements in the wrong order >.< – teedr Aug 16 '13 at 19:05
Do you happen to know if this type of thing is possible in an EventHandler's actions? – teedr Aug 16 '13 at 19:09
it looks like people are walking the same paths eventualy :) look here – Kuba Aug 16 '13 at 19:17
@Kuba Indeed that is exactly what I needed. Thanks for the direction. – teedr Aug 16 '13 at 19:22
