## See below, what data this will hold
## I really like MEANINGFUL variable names ;-)

on preOpenCard
   put 1113 into gImmagine
end preOpenCard

on openCard
  ## No need to SEND anything, since the handler is "know" in the card script, so just call it
   aggiornaSfondo2
end openCard

on aggiornaSfondo2
   put gImmagine + 1 into gImmagine
   if gImmagine > 1118 then put 1113 into gImmagine
   set the backgroundPattern of card "cHome" to gImmagine

   ## Every SEND will get an ID under which it is managed in Livecode
   ## So we store this ID in a local variable and can then later simply CANCEL that ID
   ## See the closecard handler
   send "aggiornaSfondo2" to me in 4 seconds
   put the RESULT into il_aggiornaSfondo2_messagio_id
end aggiornaSfondo2

## Please look up SEND in the dictionary!

on closeCard
   cancel il_aggiornaSfondo2_messagio_id
  ## Done :-)
