I would like the clock to be real time! Thank you!!! There is no automatic "digital clock" function in AmigaVision that places the time on the screen for you. You must set a variable equal to the system time and then display that variable. This variable must be updated whenever you need the display refreshed. The following is an example of how to do this in AmigaVision: MODULE Icon VAR Icon - Insert TIME = clock() GFX Icon - in the Object Editor, create a Text/Var object. In the Var field, place your variable, TIME. LOOP Icon - Set to endless loop VAR Icon - Insert TIME = clock() When you PRESENT this small flow, you will see the results of the clock() function displayed on the screen. If you set Double Buffer ON (in the Defaults menu), the screen will not flicker.
