time (timeout object property)
Syntax
timeoutObject
.time
Description
Timeout object property; the system time, in milliseconds, when the next timeout event will be sent by the given timeoutObject
.
Note that this is not the time until the next event, but the absolute time of the next timeout event.
Example
This handler determines the time remaining until the next timeout event will be sent by the timout object Update
by calculating the difference between its time
property and the current value of the milliseconds and displaying the result in the field Time Until:
on prepareFrame msBeforeUpdate = timeout("Update").time - the milliseconds secondsBeforeUpdate = msBeforeUpdate / 1000 minutesBeforeUpdate = secondsBeforeUpdate / 60 member("Time Until").text = string(minutesBeforeUpdate) && "minutes before next \ timeout" end
