Hey,

I’ve been hunting around for a countdown script but none of them seem to cover what I want.

I have a button, and when the button is pressed I want it to start a 3 second count down, once the 3 seconds are up I want several of my movie clips on that page to swap from their first frame, to their 2nd frame.

Any answers would be appreciated, thanks.
