Player Object in HTML 5?

[Peter Bogdanoff]

When I said "millisecond," I meant precision to a millisecond. Otherwise timers would be a second or two or longer. That is possible?

And will the commercial versions of LiveCode be able to create the HTML5 standalones?

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!
