Expression Timing?

Hi all! I'm new around here, but love this site. I sort of stumble on it by accident, but I VERY happy I did. Anyway, here's my question.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to instruct a runtime expression to begin firing only at a certain frame.

my expression is basically this:

light.blink = ((frame/16) % 2)

I want this expression to start at frame 100. How do I express that?

edit:

Sorry, Xander, I guess "frame" can be used as you described. I just must have had the syntax wrong before. :lol: now I no two ways to get the current frame. :lol:

if/then statements

if (frame > 100){

light.blink = ((frame/16) % 2);

}

I think that should do it.
