You could set a time out callback. Unlike the Timer Object this has
no actual Object attacted to it and will fire repeatedly until you
remove it. You can update your Browser Object in the callback while
maintaining interactivity with your application. I've not had
occasion to use this function but it would appear that you can have
multiple time outs.

Refer to fl_add_timeout() in the manual for details.
