I have this handler that is called once when a movie is started:

ON updateTC
put convertTime(round(the currentTime of player "Player"/the timeScale of player "Player")) into fld "mt"

IF ",updateTC," is not in the pendingMessages THEN send "updateTC" to me in ((1 - (the long seconds mod 1)) / 5) seconds -- we send this message well settled with the internal clock each 200 milliseconds
END updateTC


(from Eric Chatonet's excellent archive)


It works fine in Rev, but the standalone simply refuses to update the timecode display.

I barely understand the "idler" concept, so maybe I am doing something wrong that does not work in a standalone?

Can anyone point me to other examples, or a different way to do an "ongoing background process" that will update the display when the movie is playing?


Arrrgghhhh....
