stime=getTimer()/1000;
nsec=20;
this.onEnterFrame=function(){
if((getTimer()-stime)\>nsec){
gotoAndPlay(x);

```auto
myGotoAndPlay = function (frame) {
gotoAndPlay(frame);
clearInterval(myInterval);
};
var myInterval = setInterval(myGotoAndPlay, 20000, 20);
```

ok
thanx to both!!
i solved it like this
myInterval = setInterval (slideShow, 20000);
function slideShow () {
gotoAndPlay (2);
}
and then i killed the funtion with this:
clearInterval(myInterval);
