I want to put a script action on a page with a video object which will continuously poll the video.GetPosition() but I don't know how to do it with loops etc.
E.g.
var videoLen = video.GetLength() [this is read initially]
then the loop:
videoPos = video.GetPosition()
timetoplay = videoLen - videoPos
if timetoplay < 60 then video.Go(20)
check videoPos again

I guess what I'm asking is how to persistently check the state of a variable and act on the value returned. This could be useful for other objects, e.g. animations....

Variable Changed or Ticker triggers will both do that.
