Thank you for the reply, Alessandro - but the closed-loop problem is
coming from javascript patch and not the movie. The problem I am
having is that I want to check on the current position of the
stopwatch, and reset it depending on the output. For example, The
stop watch should count to five and then reset. Perhaps what I really
need is an Interpolation patch with an external timebase.

hi surya. you can do this by creating two image with movie patches.
they should both have the same input string for the movie path. the
first can be used to get the movie duration and the second to provide
the movie itself. in this way you can avoid a feedback loop.

I have a stop watch feeding the time on a movie patch. This time also
goes through a javascript patch, which evaluates the current time and
decides whether the movie needs to be restarted (for looping).
However, the stop watch will not take the output of the javascript
patch. I suppose this is because it could create some sort of
feedback problem since it's creating that time in the first place.
Is there any way I could get this output back into the stop watch
patch?
