Just a late thought Jakob...
How can an object that is not added to the actor list be used in another
movie? Do I use a global to point to to the behaviors instance? The
timeOut, I guess, would keep it alive by referring to the objects
handler(which does not exist, ofcourse). But what if I need to send a
message to the object? How do I do that?

Yeah but these days I would forego the actorList and rather create a
timeoutobject calling back to the object that needs regular
frame-events, like so:
--timeOut(Name).new(period, timeOutHandler <,targetObject>)
timeOut(me && "eventRelay").new(0, #dummy, me)
