I'm really glad that your experiments are going well!

The player control isn't yet supported in the HTML5 engine.  I believe 
it will be possible to get it to work, probably, but unfortunately I 
don't expect to have enough development time to get it working before 
LiveCode 8.0 release.

Very short interval timers can't be made to work reliably in JavaScript, 
as far as I know.  As I understand it (supported by the experiments I've 
done), browsers have an internal rendering framerate (usually aiming for 
whatever your monitor refresh rate is), and check & run JavaScript 
timers at each frame.  On the bright side, that should work just fine 
for animation purposes!
