Compiled app using a LOT of processing power

[Jan Schenkel]

Hi Bob,

There's a property for that :-)


set the repeatCount of image "SpinningImage" to 0 -- stop looping


HTH,

Jan Schenkel.

Hi all. 

You may vaguely remember a thread about using a standalone as a kind of ad hoc animated dialog using Applescript commands? Well as it turns out that app while running is using 16% to 18% of my processor just sitting there with it's stack hidden! The only thing happening is the animated gif is spinning. Do animated gif's really use that much processor power?? Is there a way to start and stop the animation? If not, I suppose I can just have the app quit when not in use. 

Bob
