Ya, I'm trying to avoid hard coding the values into an array, because eventually
I will want this for the rendering of several hundred frames. No way to have the
code count/render for three clocks then add a value to our function? That's why
I was trying to use an if statement initially. In the end, once I figure this
out, I will need to count the displacement so when I get to the end of my
image, I can roll it back in the opposite direction, but no need to get ahead
of myself...

1-1fps
2-1fps
3-1fps
4-2fps
5-2fps
6-2fps
7-3fps
8-3fps
9-3fps
10-4fps
11-4fps
12-4fps etc.

*Appreciate your time. Chris B.
