FLASH: Flash Millenium Clock

[Oliver Emberton]

I'm trying to create a Flash 4 millenium clock using the GetTimer function, like this:


Set Variable: "lasttime" = int ( GetTimer / 200 )

Loop While (int (GetTimer / 200) = lasttime)

End Loop

Set Variable: "msec" = msec - 1  

etc...


My clock works but consumes FAR too much processor time in the browser. I think the loop above doesn't allow any other applications a timeslice.


Is there any way around this, or another means of creating a Flash clock?
