Hmm..didnt work. OK, I set up the frames 5,6,and 7, which i want the
movie to go to randomly every 5 seconds. Now what? I made the
movieclip called timer and did everything exactly, but it didnt do it,
it just kept rotating between frames 3 and 4, dont know why.

Create an MC called "timer" with these timeframe actions:
First frame:
Stop

Second frame:
Play
Set Variable: "stopped_time" = GetTimer

Third frame:
Set Variable: "current_time" = GetTimer
Set Variable: "time" = Int((stopped_time - current_time)/1000)
If (time >= 5) // being 5 seconds
Goto and Play ( Random(10) + 5 ) // random plays frames 5 to 14
End If

Fourth frame:
Goto and Play (3)

Put this MC in the first frame of your movie, give it an instance
("timer"
will do) and add this action:
Tell target ("timer")
Goto and Play (2)
End Tell target

If I'm not mistaken, this should do it.
