Thanks Arsis and Cheri. Just pawed through it and came to the startling

reveletion that "there truly are no flies on JC".


What I didn't know was you can create a "blank" MC that holds the variables

for the timeout. I always thought MC's had to have something you could see in

them. If I understand it correctly,  you can tcreate a blank  MC , set the

timeout length in it and ,by simply sticking it in its own layer on the main

timeline, you can have an animation finish, wait two seconds and then move on

to the next frame.


Slick, John, very slick.


Not that i'll ever ask a user to set a timeout length, but one thing I

couldn't find was how the value in the input box was passed to the MC. John�?
