Doug,
>> I don't understand what you mean when you say "put a clock into
>> your screen interface". Do you mean the AmigaVision screen interface?
>> If so, how do you do this?
I have never done this and I haven't used ver. 1.xx of AV in years but my
guess is that you would create a loop that would:
1) Use the variable icon to put the time into a variable eg.
"TimeVar == CLOCK()"
where "TimeVar" is a user defined variable and could be any name. The
variable would be best to be global.
2) Then use the GFx icon. Enter the forms editor, create a text box,
double click on it to open the text info requestor, and click on the
VAR button and select the variable that you defined (eg. TimeVar).
Then create a loop so the time will be updated. This graphic will then be
displayed on top of any graphics that you display but as I said I probably
won't work with animations.
I haven't tested this but I hope it helps. If you need faster feedback
then send me CMail.
