I only put the wait in there because I thought it was needed, but it isn’t.
Using mousetilldown is better, and the solution to the smooth animation while
dragging is to set the idlerate to a lower number.
local p
on mouseDown
set the idlerate to 50
put 1 into p
grab me
do animashun
end mouseDown
on mouseStillDown
do animashun
end mouseStillDown
on animashun
put ("p"&p)&".png" into theimage
set the backGroundPattern of graphic "G1" to the id of image theimage
put p + 1 into p
if p > 15 then put 1 into p
end animashun
