I can figure it out. I want to make a blinking cursor using two picture files. I thought I could do it by hiding and showing the paisted pictures so it looks like they are blinking. That does not work though and whenever I use the wait command it pauses the whole program.

*I guess I have two problems. How do you use the wait key without it pauseing the whole program?

*How do you create a looping animation using two pictures?

Simple problems sorry I am such a beginner,

Its been a long time since I've gotten back. Nothing seems to happen. It doesn't blink. I see no time variable in your code to restrict the blinking to any number of seconds.

I'm still confused!

Try this out.



If you want something else to happen while the cursor is blinking, I would take out the WAIT command so it doesn't slow the rest down.

To keep the delay for the blinking cursor and integrate code with it, you could use something like this:



I used the internal system clock for the second code snippet. I figured that it would be more accurate timing than just adding two numbers together. Although, adding two numbers together would probably work too.

I hope this helps ya.
