I am using Macromedia Flash Pro 8.

I have a flash intro that has words (phrases) which slide in. I would like to add a 7 second pause between each phrase to give people time to read them (no buttons).

Could someone tell me the script(s) to use with all functions, etc. included - as I am so new to all this. I have been looking for weeks & tried many codes but none seem to work - or I don’t know exactly where to place them - or both :cantlook:

Thank you so very much! :hugegrin:
