How To Loop This

[bchu25]

Having major trouble as I'm a noob. My objective is to draw the colors of the rainbow in paint using 6 straight lines (each color of the rainbow) and loop it until it reaches the end of the page. I've tried using the For and step commands but my lines would just overwrite on top of each other. Please give me guidance! Much appreciated.

My work thus far: 

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>
$pxls = InputBox("Height", "How many pixels in height?", "200")
$pixel_height = Int($pxls)
Run("mspaint.exe")
WinWaitActive("Untitled - Paint")
MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT, 1434, 94, 1)
MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT, 170, 83, 1)
MouseClickDrag($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT, 230, 200, 205, 200)
Send($pxls)
MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT, 140, 485, 1)
MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT, 590, 110, 1)
MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT, 610, 256, 1)
MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT, 776, 62, 1)
MouseClickDrag($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT, 90, 190, 1150, 190,0)
MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT, 799, 61, 1,0)
MouseClickDrag($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT, 90, 195, 1150, 195,0)
MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT, 821, 61, 1,0)
MouseClickDrag($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT, 90, 200, 1150, 200,0)
MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT, 844, 60, 1,0)
MouseClickDrag($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT, 90, 205, 1150, 205,0)
MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT, 863, 59, 1,0)
MouseClickDrag($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT, 90, 210, 1150, 210,0)
MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT, 906, 62, 1,0)
MouseClickDrag($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT, 90, 215, 1150, 215,0)
WinClose("Untitled - Paint")
WinWaitActive("Paint", "Save")
Send("{ENTER}")
WinWaitActive("Save As")
Sleep(5000)
MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT, 390, 240, 2)
MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT, 708, 526, 1)

Another related question is how do I use multiple variables for the for-next command? 

As an example I want 2 variables: 

For $a = 1 to 10 step + 2 

How would I input another variable? i.e $b?

Are you using Windows 7 Paint?

If so I can use AutoIt Window Info Tool to find the control_Ids then ControlSend, ControlClick which will access the controls much better than pointing and clicking.

Use arrays to index variables.

Local $x_max = 10, $y_max = 10, $z_max = 10
Local $array[$x_max][$y_max][$z_max]

For $z = 0 To $z_max - 1
    For $y = 0 To $y_max - 1
        For $x = 0 To $x_max - 1
            $array[$x][$y][$z] = $x & " " & $y & " " & $z
            $sLabel = "array[" & $x & "]" & "[" & $y & "]" & "[" & $z & "] = "
            ConsoleWrite($sLabel & $array[$x][$y][$z] & @CRLF)
        Next; x
    Next; y
Next; z
