i suggest drawing lines from a random point A to a random point B, or making a procedure dawing lines in a zigzag shape then using drawfill to color them in. 1 frame would make sense for each bolt, then a "reload" vaiable telling the computer when it can draw the next bolt

Eg (number 1)
Turing:
var reload:int:=Rand.Int(2,10)
loop
     reload-=1
     if reload=0 then
          reload:=Rand.Int(2,10)
          drawline(Rand.Int(0,maxx),maxy,Rand.Int(0,maxx),0,yellow)
     end if
     delay(40)
end loop


Eg (number 2)
Turing:
var lastx,lasty,x,y:int
proc lightning
randomize
drawline(Rand.Int(0,maxx),maxy,x,y,yellow)
for i:1..Rand.Int(2,5)
lastx:=x
lasty:=y
x:=Rand.Int(0,maxx)
y:=Rand.Int(0,maxy)
drawline(lastx,lasty,x,y,yellow)
end for
end lightning

try someting like that

bharath, the second example is just to demonstrate how one could go about it, youll have to figure out how to finish it... also, I only gave you a procedure, you have to actually call in the procedure.
if you want to make the lightning seem realistic, make a thunder sound effect that plays when the lightning flashes... look at the turorials
