want to loop in particular method using performselectoronmainthread - iphone

Question

I have to loop in particluar method which do some task. I have used the method performselectoronmainthread wait until done method. Its working fine if i call it for once. But It fails when I call it in for loop. ie
this is the code:
for (int i=1;i<=3;i++) {
ip=i;
[self performSelectorOnMainThread:#selector(createThread:) withObject:ip waitUntilDone:YES];
}
-(void)createThread:(NSString*)ipIs
{
NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
NSLog(#"Ip address is :%#",ipIs);
[SimplePingHelper ping:ipIs target:self sel:#selector(Result:)];
[pool release];
}
- (void)Result:(NSNumber*)success {
//do some stuff
}
The problem is that this code works fine when I run this loop once and It calls Result method. But it execution path changes when I try to use loop in performSelectorOnMainThread to pass different variables into it.Then It doesnt call result method.
I am looping because I want to run these same methods on different variables but task to be performed would be same.I am also using waituntil done:YES value..but still it is not working
Any idea ?

try creating other thread
myThread = [[NSThread alloc] initWithTarget:self selector:#selector(setupTimerThread) object:nil];
[myThread start];
-(void)setupTimerThread
{
NSAutoreleasePool* pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
timer2 = [NSTimer timerWithTimeInterval:0.04
target:self
selector:#selector(triggerTimer:)
userInfo:nil
repeats:YES];
NSRunLoop* runLoop = [NSRunLoop currentRunLoop];
[runLoop addTimer:timer2 forMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode];
[runLoop run];
[pool release];
}
-(void)triggerTimer:
{
//this method will be called in loop set loop interval by setting the timers time duration in above method
}
EDIT :
int ip=0;
-(void)triggerTimer:
{
ip++; // till ip<=3
[self createThread:ip];
}
