First of all, the error you cite references the word "hide" so the script
that caused the error is not really the one above.  I'm guessing maybe you
tried to do the opposite, hide the images, instead of showing them?

Otherwise, if your goal is to show *images* only, change the word "control"
to "image".  Using "controls" counts the total number of controls on the
card (fields, buttons, scrollbars, images, etc) and will be out of sync with
the number of images only.

 repeat with x = 1 to the number of images
      show image ("c"&x&".jpg")
      wait 5 ticks
 end repeat

Let us know if this is not what you're after.
