<div>The following script is recommended in the Rev. web site as
preferable to the use of the idle message:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><font color="#000000">on showPlayerCurrentTime<br>
put the currentTime of player "My Player" into field
"Player Progress"<br>
send "showPlayerCurrentTime" to me in 500 milliseconds<br>
end showPlayerCurrentTime</font><br>
<font color="#000000"></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">In this way, "showPlayerCuttentTime is
repeated every 500 milliseconds.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">My question is: How would one stop
this cycle? How does one interrupt the send routine? What part
of the "pendingmessages" does one
"cancel"?</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">With the above handler running I get
find two lines in the pending messages as follows:</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<blockquote><font
color="#000000">6230,1010150413.003374,mouseUp,button id 1003 of card
id 1002 of stack "Untitled 1"</font></blockquote>
<blockquote><font color="#000000"><br></font></blockquote>
<blockquote><font
color="#000000">6231,1010150412.65895,revScriptEdit,button id 1003 of
card id 1002 of stack "/Macintosh
HD/Revolution-1.1.1-Classic-B1/components/global
environment/revlibrary.rev"</font></blockquote>
<div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div>Furthermore the two leading items in each line (6230 and 6231)
change with time.</div>
