[Seaside] Re: Q on Periodical

[Bob Arning]

I'm not sure why you want to create the periodical before you need it to 
run, but this seems to do what you wanted:

renderContentOn: html

     html div
         script: ((html scriptaculous periodical)
             frequency: 1;
             on: #renderNextImageOn: of: self;
             assignTo: 'FLPer'
             ), (
                 html prototype script add: (JSStream new
                     nextPutAll: 'FLPer.stop();';
                     yourself)
                 );

         with: [html text: 'this is a test'].
     html div
         onClick: ('FLPer.start();');
         with: 'start me'.
     html div
         onClick: ('FLPer.stop();');
         with: 'stop me'.

Cheers,
Bob
