Hey all,

Real quick question… is there an easy way to begin a timer onRelease that counts 5 minutes, when it is done, executes another function in the movie?

I have found a lot of larger countdown timers for days and years, but I am having trouble simplifying to a matter of minutes and then executing a function. thanks in advance for any help
