You could build a little test stack that did some operations and stored a baseline value for these, then in the operating environ, trigger these, get the new values and prorate. For example (typed and not tested) on authorTime get the ticks repeat 3000 add 1 to tempp end repeat set the cp3KBaseline of this stack to the ticks - it div 3000 get the ticks runIntro set the cpIntroBaseline of this stack to the ticks - it save this stack end authorTime on openstack if the filename of this stack contains the cpAuthor of this stack then authorTime get the ticks repeat 3000 add 1 to tempp end repeat get the ticks - it div 3000 set the cp3KRate of this stack to it/the cp3KBaseline of this stack get the ticks runIntro get the ticks - it set the cpIntroRate of this stack to it/the cpIntroBaseline of this stack put "cp3KRate = " & the cp3KRate of this stack & \ " cpIntroRate = " & the cpIntroRate of this stack into msg end openstack ___and now you have two ratios that can be used in animation or other timing calcs. This is just an idea, but it should get you in the ball park. If you are running the stack on your computer, then both ratios should be 1.00000 Now have someone run the stack and let you know their ratios. Hope this helps in some way Jim Ault Las Vegas _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
