I can't figure out how to reset the timer and to actually program an If statement to run off the time. I tried this but it didn't work and I don't understand.

Timer()=0
Load Image "Background.jpg",1
Do
If Timer()=5000
Paste Image 1,0,0
Endif
Loop

as Batvink has so elequintly put.

the reset might occur like:

myTime = Timer()
Load Image "Background.jpg",1
Do
If Timer()- MyTime = 5000
Paste Image 1,0,0
MyTime=Timer()
Endif
Loop

@CattleRustler

You suggested (with added indentation):



Is that safe? The test might miss 5000 (if you had a longer loop or a slow machine). Perhaps safer to use



?

I know - but mere "=" might not, if the activity within the loop made the timer step directly from 4999 to 5001, for example.
