New boy here (lots of experience of BASIC, new to REALbasic.)

I can't get my ChasingArrows1 to work properly. I have a Pushbutton which
when pressed runs some code involving a For-Next Loop. I want ChasingArrows1
to appear just before the Loop starts, to animate while the Loop runs, and
to disappear just after the Loop has ended. Not rocket science I am sure.

There seem to be several things to be done:

At the beginning of the Loop:

1. ChasingArrows1.Visible = True/False
2. ChasingArrows1.Enabled = True/False

At the end of the Loop:

3. ChasingArrows1.Visible = True/False
4. ChasingArrows1.Enabled = True/False

In ChasingArrows1 > Properties > Appearance:

5. Visible On/Off
6. AutoDeactivate On/Off
7. Enabled On/Off

I have tried many combinations and although ChasingArrows1 sometimes appears
and animates (depending on which combination I try) it does not do what I
want. Neither the Language Reference nor Matt Neuburg's "The Definitive
Guide" (2nd. Ed.) give any syntax.

Can anyone tell me exactly what I should put, and where, re. 1. to 7. above,
and/or anything else somewhere else?

Thanks.
