Here's the whole code I'm using. I've only ever used timer for small
things and the documentation on them is week so I'm not really clear on
how they work. Using your method could I change the code below into a
while loop
<method name="changeCard" args="ignore=null">
this.setAttribute('frame', rolonum);
if (rolonum == 4) {
rolonum = 1;
} else {
rolonum= rolonum + 1
}
this.timer();
</method>
<method name="timer">
lz.Timer.addTimer( new LzDelegate(this, "changeCard"), 15000 );
</method>
