Hello,

i'd like to do a little intro like:

...

while( millis() - lastTime < 5000 && start==0) {

text("Brought to you by bitator.com", 20, 100);

}

...

The problem ist, that the text is no showen.

The sketch has a blank screen for 6 5 seconds and then goes on.

Any help please?

I tried this:

if(start==0 && mousePressed==false){

text("Brought to you by bitator.com", 20, 100);

}else{

start=1;}

if (start==1){

...

}

Text is not shown, but after a click the sketch goes on.

text() is probably shown only for a frame, then hidden by background() in the next frame.
The suggestion was about your first code...

}

Text not shown, but after 5 seconds the sketch goes on.

Ironically you use a combination of solutions that together don't solve the problem.

See Tip 15: http://amnonp5.wordpress.com/2012/01/28/25-life-saving-tips-for-processing/

(and perhaps also Tip 14)

The problem is then elsewhere, eg. in the way you initialize your variables.
If I copy as is your code, and just create the variables you use, keeping their default values (zero), it works:

int lastTime;
int start;
void start()
{
size(500, 200);
}
void draw()
{
background(#555577);
if( millis() - lastTime < 5000 && start==0) {
text("Brought to you by bitator.com", 20, 100);
}else{
start=1;}
if (start==1)
{
text("Started", 20, 100);
}
}
