allow me to add how to avoid the overhead:
as seen in Toms mail, if the timeout object
'forwards' the event, it adds a reference to
itself as parameter.
so you can distinguish between 'regular'
exit-/prepareframe and additional
exit-/prepareframe events.
on exitframe me
if the paramcount > 1 then exit -- caused by timeout
...
end
on prepareframe me
if the paramcount > 1 then exit -- caused by timeout
...
end
surely you do only need the 'waste' of the extra
cycle, if you use a timeout object with this
behavior as target.
