Slowing down a loop

[Apex]

Is there any way to slow down the speed at which a loop executes? Maybe some sort of pause between each new loop.

Make a new active object and place it off screen, then use one of it's Alterable Values to record how many loops have been executed.

So if you want to have a loop the executes 50 times in 10 loop increments make events in this order:

-While Active Object's Alterable Value A < 50
-Set Active Object's Alterable Value A to Alterable Value A("Active Object")+10
-Start loop "blah" 10 times

-On loop "blah"
-Do stuff

There you go, a sub-loop that only executes a particular amount per main loop.

That's what I usually do, but to save memory I use one of my existing active objects or a global value or counter.
