Laura.
I like to add 3600 frames to the beginning of all my movies ! That way, when
they open the URL it keeps 'em guessing !! ;-)

My laptop is at the house. I played around with it late last night after
class.
I think it was something like: (from damaged memory)

Frame #1 Set Variable: "timer1" = Int(GetTimer
/5000)

Frame #2 Goto and play frame #3

Frame #3 Set Variable: "Now" = Int(GetTimer /5000)
If ( (Now - timer1) >maxtime))

Goto frame #
End If
Else
Goto frame 2

I should really get more sleep.

Hey Marcus,

What did you really do? I started actually trying to test one with get timer
and set it up like...
On the main movie, in the frame where I want the pause:
Set Variable "Now" = GetTimer
Stop
Made a two frame control mc placed on this frame with:
Set Variable "Timer1" = /:Now
Set Variable "Timer2" = GetTimer
If Timer2 - Timer1 < 5000
Begin Tell Target /
Play
End Tell Target
Stop
End If
On both frames

but the movie I'm testing it on has some stuff heavy processor stuff it has
to draw before it goes on, so I'm still monkeying with what exactly I'd want
those numbers set at and if it works right.

So what was the easiest? :)
Laura
