simple animation, please help soon! :)

-----------------------------------

HI, I'm a very beginner in turing, and I have just finised learning all about loops and if statements, and am now begining to go on to animation...except i am really lost.  I just need to know the code for how to get a simple box from the top right of the screen to the top left...nothing fancy.  I know that I have to use the Draw.FillBox command, and then i have to redraw it, but i dont understand how still.  Please help, thanks!  :o

as u can see that one flickers very much....
now here' what u have to learn to do animations
View.Set("offscreenonly") and View.Update

when u put View.Set("offscreenonly") at the beggining of your program the screen doesn't change untill u type View.Update and it helps u reduce the flicker.
and this is your program would look like with View.Set("offscreenonly")


View.Set ("offscreenonly")
for x : 0 .. 640
    Draw.FillBox (x, 380, x + 20, 400, 9) %draws the box
    View.Update %puts it on the screen
    delay (10) %delys the program for a very very short while so you will have the chance to see the box
    cls %cleans the screen for a new box to be drawn 
end for
