getCurrentActivity()

[Doug Donalson;]

Roger,

   If you remember, you had me use getCurrentActivity()
as a way to get the current system time when using the 
two level version of the time schedule.  Particularly,
I use the the main schedule tiem as the integer part of my time
and the subschedule time as the decimal part.  When executing
an event, I am in the time subschedule so I use the code

  eventTime=getCurrentTime();  
  activity=getCurrentActivity();  
  if( activity != nil )  
  {
     ownerActivity = [activity getOwnerActivity];     
     while ( ! [ownerActivity respondsTo: M(getCurrentTime)] )        
     ownerActivity = [ownerActivity getOwner];     
     superTime = [ownerActivity getCurrentTime];     
     time=superTime+ eventTime*precison; //precison right shifts eventTime
  }

so that I have 'superTime.eventTime' as my system time.

Please tell me that there is another procedure that takes the place
of getCurrentActivity!  If there isn't and there isn't another way
to do this same thing then I'm shut down.

Cheers?
