This is a simply way to show activity while loading, or pausing a site.

Example

This method will output a “.” every second for the designated time.  This method uses flush(); to output the current string while we’re inside the for loop.

This can be used to load files within the loop and out put a activity indicator, or pause the site and allow ads to be displayed for a few seconds before proceeding.
