Hey, I want to animate a seal image popping in and out of the ice, however I cannot put a delay on it without Greenfoot.delay, which stops the entire program. I wan him to pop out, stay as that image for a random amount of time, then disappear for a random amount of time again. Thanks.

It would help if you shared the code you already have... But if you want to wait several act cycles before performing an action, you can do this: First create a variable 
int time = 0;
Every act cycle, increment that value, and check it to see if you want to change the image. 
time++;
int delay = 5;//how long you want to wait before chaging the image
if(time%delay==0)
{
      //change image
}
This will call the animation code every five act cycles. Change "delay" to make that time shorter or longer.
