Is there a way to make a task regular? According to the 

documentation, you just have to set the immediate property of the 

function to 1 so the Task will be executed in the high priority 

thread, but with the example bellow, it reports 1 instead of 0.

If I call the Task from a high priority message, it doesn't change 

PS: this is on a mac, with latest versions of everything...

--------- save as highpriority.js ---------

    post("start is in the thread", max.mainthread, "n");

    post("task is in the thread", max.mainthread, "n");

anything. Am I forgetting something?

--------- save as highpriority.js ---------
var myTask = new Task(click, this);
myTask.interval = 100;

function start()
{
	post("start is in the thread", max.mainthread, "n");
	myTask.repeat();
}
start.immediate = 1;

function click()
{
	post("task is in the thread", max.mainthread, "n");
	outlet(0, "bang");
}
click.immediate = 1;
