Now I realize this has been asked a million times…but I need help with delaying an action. I’ve already done a search on setInterval and I’ve gone through three pages of thread but I’m just not getting how to apply this to what Im trying to do. (I’m a rookie). So on to the question.

This is my current script (MX)  
on (rollOver) {  
\_root.rollover.gotoAndPlay (“RollOn2”);  
}

on (rollOut) {  
\_root.rollover.gotoAndPlay (“RollOff2”);  
}  
on (release) {  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(“home”);

\\I want a delay so the action above can complete and then I want the jeff.swf to be loaded into the movie clip.

\_root.contents.loadMovie(“jeff.swf”);  
}

Thanks for the help, and please explain the actionscript to me like I’m retarded to whom ever helps me. Thanks 🙂
