Don't do repeated imaging lingo operations on a member - it will be
SLOW! For greatest ease of use: Make a list of 25 blank images first,
using duplicate:
--
imageTemplate = image(800, 600, 24)
imageList = []
repeat with imageNr = 1 to 25
imageList.append(imageTemplate.duplicate())
end repeat
--
Then make the imaging Lingo changes to the list items. I don't know
how 'fast' the animation will be though - showing 800x600x24 images @
High frame rate is pretty heavy duty...
