Hi, I suspect Deparse would tell you the problem with ternary?:if/else, its Basic debugging checklist

A)Is this the best way to implement an autoplay function? I tried to use Tk's repeat and timer with no big success. I read all tk callback material but if I understood it correctly a variable used in the callback it is evaluated when the callback is created NOT when it is invoked. How to change this behaviour?
