How can I run scripts in CP 8 on a timely bases.

Question

In CP 8 I want a script to run every second automaticaly, how can I do this?
The reason for this is that I want the application that I build to check for the GeoLocation every second, so that the arrival at a location that is entered as a variable  can trigger an event (Go to Slide...).
Now I have the cpInfoGeoLocation checked on Enter of the slide and on Click of a button. But would like it to happen automaticaly.

Actually ... I had a great discussion with Suresh and the engineering team shortly before the release of Adobe Captivate 8 about just this topic.  The need to call a script on repeating basis is a huge need, and thanks to the great work of the engineering team - it was included in Captivate 8.  Here's how you do it - High level:
1. Create a slide that you wish to loop on. (In your case this should be a 1 second slide.
2. On EnterSlide event, store the current frame (cpInfoCurrentFrame) in a variable (call it whatever you like, startFrameSlideN should work)
3. On Exitslide event, call a script - either an Advanced Action or a Shared Action that uses goToFrameAndPlay with the variable you used for the start  frame + 1 - the trick here is to set up this script to use decision points in sequence that ask your questions - if any of those conditions are met - call a goTo - navigation command and exit the slide loop.  If none of the decisionpoints are met, then simply let the final else (Only the final else) be the goToFrameAndPlay command that returns us to the start frame +1 of this slide.
Now in earlier versions of Captivate (7 and below) this would not work. Because it would be interrupted and simply pass on to the next slide after one failed loop through all of the decision points.  But now this will loop infinitely - so be very sure that you include a  navigation button to let the user escape the slide loop - or you'll get permanent pause if the conditions are never met.
I'll blog about this next week here: http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/
You could use this for some of the following (certainly loads of other things too.): 
1. loop on a slide while comparing GPS to make a self-popping trigger when the learner walks / drives into a gps matching zone
2. PUSH messaging.  Give cp a location where messages are stored - then if you add text to that messaging online text - it will get pushed to your application when the loop occurs.
3. Dynamic update of course content - loop on a slide and load any variable
Tons of other stuff i'm sure.
