i wish to know how to use the gettimer to run my on(press) function…  
let say i have an array consist of 10 elements, and each element will be called for an interval of 2second… how can i actually code it out?  
i’ve tried something with this…

for (i=0;i\<array.length;i++){  
{A=gettimer()  
if (gettimer()\>2000)  
{//run action  
}  
}

but it doesnt work…
