Hmm...it didnt work. Everything makes sense. I dont know whats wrong.
I did EXACTLY what you told me to. Oh, and I noticed in your code the
"GetTimer"s didnt have quotations around them, so I assumed I had to
change it from String literal to Expression. I did that, so the
quotations around the GetTimers and the Int part are gone, so the code
looks exactly like yours. I dont think the spaces between letters and
stuff matters right?

What could be wrong?

Oops... my mistake... forgot that you have to call the main
timeline...
here's the revised code, for going to frames 5,6,7.

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 ( (current_time - stopped_time) /1000 )
If (time >= 5)
Begin Tell Target ("../")
Go to and Play (Random (3) + 5)
End Tell Target
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 to the main timeline:

First frame:
Stop
Tell target ("timer")
Goto and Play (2)
End Tell target

Fifth frame:
Goto and Play (1)

Sixth frame:
Goto and Play (1)

Seventh frame:
Goto and Play (1)



That should do it.
