thanks for your answer Ramon, it worked pretty fine.

<br> <br>That artcle is a bit out of date, download my image and check out the<br> current version of those methods. They work a bit differently now but I<br> still use them heavily and they work great. I don't use the decay hack<br>
anymore, I just send down some script and stop the polling. I'm in a hotel<br> in New Hampshire at the moment so I don't have time to dig into any code,<br> but I can tell you what's in my image works well.<br>
