Basically what you need is a delay, the usage of delay is delay([time in miliseconds]), so after every light gets drawn i would add a delay(1000)

loop
drawfillbox (321, 185, 392, 204, brown)
drawfillbox (390, 192, 398, 200, brown)
drawfilloval (329, 196, 7, 7, red)
drawfilloval (352, 197, 7, 7, 68)
drawfilloval (375, 197, 7, 7, green)
drawfilloval (375, 197, 7, 7, brightgreen)
delay (1000)
drawfilloval (375, 197, 7, 7, green)
drawfilloval (352, 197, 7, 7, yellow)
delay (1000)
drawfilloval (352, 197, 7, 7, 68)
drawfilloval (375, 197, 7, 7, green)
drawfilloval (329, 196, 7, 7, brightred)
delay (1000)
end loop

It's terrible code but I'm studying for physics (even though I'm on compsci... :S) and I don't feel like thinking too hard Smile

You need to simply use delays for such a simple idea like this and a loop if you want to constantly run through the lights.
