Hi guys!

How do I add delay in a timeline for the loadMovieNum to take place?

To be more specific, I have all my layers in Scene1 and the top most is the Actions layer. Somewhere around frame 75 of the timeline I inserted a keyframe in the Actions layer to loadMovieNum but it doesn’t seem to load.

If I place that piece of code at the first frame if plays fine though. I don’t want it to play immediately. As mentioned, I want the code to execute at frame 75 and load my MC onto the stage.

I bet its a very simple thing and there must be something I missed out. This is my first time working with Flash so please bare with me. Btw, i’m using MX 2004 if that helps.

Thanks guys!
