Not on the stack, but on the overall system, depending on how tight a "loop" you run. For example, if you can affort to wait a half-second before bringing your palette up (500ms), you can significantly reduce the impact on the system. > Does anybody have an example of how to set up "polling"? Here's a simple one: on StartPolling PollProcesses end StartPolling on PollProcesses -- do your code for checking the processes, etc. send "PollProcesses" to me in 500 milliseconds end PollProcesses HTH, Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software Web site: http://www.sonsothunder.com/ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
