Hi there,
   I'd like to be able to click on a presentation which calls a
function which contains a potentially infinite loop, and still be able
to click on other presentations on the screen and have them respond
while that function is looping. It seems that as soon as I click on
one presentation, the other presentations on the screen aren't
clickable until the function called by my first click is finished
executing. Do I need to make my own run-frame-top-level function (I'm
using the default right now)?
   If need by, I can make the potentially infinite loop manually check
for click events, but I'm not sure how to do that either...
   Has anyone done either of these things?
   Thanks!
