Is there a way to execute a function in interval of 10 sec in background.

I have a scenario where i have to update my screen in every 10 sec of interval functionality will work execute in background.

It is similar to the function setinterval in javascript.

'Timer' is probably what you want:

You can do 'createObject("roSGNode", "Timer")' which often makes more sense than making the node in XML. As far as I can tell it doesn't need to be added to the scene as a child node to work.
