I want it to change/update every second ...is this possible in 2.0?

Sure. But in your clock example you're doing too much work. There's already a clock plugin.
Just go to the "additional abilities" area on the general page and then select the clock plugin.
Now, in script, the way you would update something every second would be like this:
Sub Object_OnScriptEnter
Object.SetTimer 123,1000
End Sub
SetTimer has two paramters. The first one is the timer name and the second one is the time in MS that itshould get called.
So then you would create:
Sub Object_OnTimer123
Object.SetText (stuff here)
End Sub
but on clocks, you would just use the built in plugins for that.

Cuz there is no "additional abilities" on general page.
There is a general plugin thing that I can choosea dll from but don't think that's right.
The thing is, the clock gets the right info, it just doesn't update every second...it only updates when I right-click then go into properties and click ok...only then it will refresh.
Thanks for the help so far.

Yes, that's the thing I'm takling about. Make sure you download 2.2 btw from www.desktopx.net
Just pick the clock you want.

When I select DXDigitalClock.dll or a similar dll for general plugin it says it's a drawing plugin and not a general purpose plugin. I'm guessing this is for the plugin in Appearance in the States tab.
