With QML how do I get a timed event that is accurate enough for animating frames of a Canvas

[AI_Messiah]

With C++ I could just use a thread that would call a method based on a measurement of time. QML itself as far as I know does not have something like this. The Timer object will speed up and slow down at a rate that does not look good. Finding what time it is I do not have a problem with.

@AI_Messiah You might try to normalize every timer shoot by calculating elapsed time exactly:

Timer {
    id: timer
    property real elap: 0
    property real lag: 0
    property int exactInterval: 100
    running: true
    repeat: true
    interval: exactInterval
    onRunningChanged: {
      if (running) { // reset
        elap = 0; lag = 0
      }
    }
    onTriggered: {
      var currTime = new Date().getTime()
      if (elap > 0) { // skip first shoot
        elap = currTime - elap
        lag += elap - interval
      }
      elap = currTime
      interval = exactInterval - lag
      lag = 0
    }
  }
