manner.  Generally, you can use the singleton <a href="output/Ext.TaskMgr.html" ext:cls="Ext.TaskMgr">Ext.TaskMgr</a> instead, but
if needed, you can create separate instances of TaskRunner.  Any number of
separate tasks can be started at any time and will run independently of each
other. Example usage:
<pre><code><i>// Start a simple clock task that updates a div once per second</i>
<b>var</b> updateClock = <b>function</b>(){
    Ext.fly(<em>'clock'</em>).update(<b>new</b> Date().format(<em>'g:i:s A'</em>));
<b>var</b> task = {
    run: updateClock,
    interval: 1000 <i>//1 second</i>
}
<b>var</b> runner = <b>new</b> Ext.util.TaskRunner();
runner.start(task);
 
<i>// equivalent using TaskMgr</i>
Ext.TaskMgr.start({
    run: updateClock,
    interval: 1000
});</code></pre>
