Actually, maybe not, because the interpolators must call the Alpha value() method on a frequent basis. My own Alpha class could simply intercept those calls, test the value on its way back and fire events accordingly.
A fiddle but it might just work.

Hi Daniel, I have your book and source code - they have been an inspiration to me.
If I understand you correctly though, and after looking at your FileAlpha class, your suggestion of writing my own class which extends Alpha would mean either:
1) repeating the time incrementing calculation, because all of the calculation is hidden in the implementation of Alpha, in order that I can fire events at particular times;
--or--
2) simply moving my polling routine into the extended Alpha class. Not as elegant but sufficient.
That's fair enough, if that is the case. I was kinda hoping that I was missing something else though.
Feeling lazy, -Paul
