How to run code on start up

I want to run some code (a clock) as soon as the program starts (ie not have to have a button pressed for the code to start). Is there a way to do this?
Thanks

Re: Populate an option menu with video sources

Hi, I mean select a video source from a list of external inputs (like USB webcams).

So what I want the app to do is to have a Quicktime Display that shows which ever webcam is selected in the option menu.

Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the reply :)
