I have an object (chickOne) which bounces around the screen, and I’m trying to delay its appearance. This is obviously not the way to do it 
Can anyone suggest a strategy, an API or a document to read to achieve this? Thanks.

[lua]
chickOne = display.newImage (“chicken.png”) – the chicken
chickOne.x = math.random( 55, 250)
chickOne.y = math.random( 55, 400)
chickOne:scale( .60, .60)
chickOne.isVisible = false – when chickOne appears it is invisible
localGroup:insert(chickOne)
local xPosChickOne,yPosChickOne = math.random( 20, 245),math.random( 20, 425)
function onMoveChickOne (event) – the bouncing code
chickOne.isVisible = true – when the delayed funct begins chickOne is visible
if chickOneVar ~= 1 then
xPosChickOne = xPosChickOne + ( 2.8 * chickSpeedX );
yPosChickOne = yPosChickOne + ( 2.2* chickSpeedY );
if (xPosChickOne > display.contentWidth - 20 or xPosChickOne < 20) then
chickSpeedX = chickSpeedX * -1;
end
if (yPosChickOne > display.contentHeight - 20 or yPosChickOne < 20) then
chickSpeedY = chickSpeedY * -1;
end
chickOne:translate( xPosChickOne - chickOne.x, yPosChickOne - chickOne.y)
end
end
– Runtime:addEventListener(“enterFrame”, onMoveChickOne)
timer.performWithDelay(
1000, onMoveChickOne )[/lua]
