I've found the following script handy for usage with an HTA:
Firstly HTA is a red-herring. HTA's are evil and best avoided. What
you asked for literally can be done in a web-compliant fashion,
without needing that sort of necromancy. Web techniques apply to HTAs
OK, some HTA techniques are (thankfully!) forbidden for web use.
Find a good JavaScript tutorial. (M$oft isn't - they're too busy
pushing proprietary tweaks, not standards).
Study two things: How to do simple visual effects by dynamic CSS
changes, and using JavaScript's .SetTimeout() method to drive things
with intervals. The rest is just a bit of practice and legwork in
coding your scripts.
If you get stuck, try asking in comp.lang.javascript
Don't use VBScript. Don't ever use it for web work (client-side or
server-side). It's an ugly language, anything it can do, JavaScript or
JScript can do better. Mostly though, using J(ava)Script gives you
some hope of working on other browsers, client-side VBScript limits
you and your users to IE only.
Flash would be ridiculous overkill for this.
