At the very least if you go with the NSTimer approach, use the elapsed time between firings, rather than the assumed time of the timer's fire rate. Doing so at least reduces the drift that you will get from assuming that timers will always fire on time, every time (neither of which is true). -- David Duncan _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
