You need to update your time field inside an idle handler. AppleScript
will call your idle handler periodically, using the idle interval you
supply, and in the meantime, the application uses very little time. In
AppleScript Studio, you also need to add the idle handler to your
MainMenu.nib file. Here are instructions for adding an idle handler to
an existing AppleScript Studio application:
Normally, you set the idle interval by returning an integer from your
idle handler, or zero to keep the existing value. It defaults to 1
second. AppleScript Studio developers can also use the freeware Idle
Interval scripting addition (http://tryblock.com/idleinterval/) to set
the idle interval to a fractional value, from any handler in the
script.
Hope this helps,

Hi everybody,
I would like to display the current time in a text field. I know how
to do this. However, I want the text field to be updated every second.
If I use a loop, the overall performance of my app decreases
dramatically. In other words, it is doing nothing but this.
Is there another way to do this?
AAAA, tia, Ronald
