every so-many seconds execute?

Joop Laa #1 / 5	every so-many seconds execute? I'm building a little app that displays pictures downloaded with http. I've made an checkbox and a editfield, and now I would like to create some code which does: 1. check if the checkbox is on 2. if it's on 3. check the value (a number, representing seconds) of the editfield 4. excecute some code (eg reload the picture) every so-many seconds Is there a simple way to do this?

Yep. if checkbox.value=true then timer.period = val(editfield.text) timer.mode = 2 end if Now put this code in whereever you want it executed and then put your picture reload code in the timer. -Nick Vellios http://www.squirrelsw.com Visual MacStandardBasic - Quick, fast, efficient Visual Development tool.

One minute has 3600 ticks. thanks alot, that worked. I've made the editfield hidden with default value 30000. It reloads now (approx.) every 30 secs. It would be better if the user could put in another value in seconds, but hey, I asked for simple. :) Joop
