I need to get my movie to check if the user has click anywhere on the interface (doesn’t matter were), if there’s not click after 60second, I need to send the movie back to frame1.
I know is a combination of addListener(Mouse), onMouseMove
and getTimer. but I’m not very good at action script yet to combine the three. Any code sample and tutorials are more then appreciated.
THANKS

what happens if he does click? this should basically work:
```auto
var timerID;
function stopTimer() {
clearInterval(timerID);
}
var mouseListener = { onMouseDown: stopTimer };
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);
function gotoFrameOne() {
_root.gotoAndStop(1);
}
timerID = setInterval(gotoFrameOne,60000);
```

i assumed thats what you want… try this:
```auto
var timerID;
function startTimer() {
timerID = setInterval(gotoFrameOne,60000);
}
function resetTimer() {
clearInterval(timerID);
startTimer();
}
var mouseListener = { onMouseDown: resetTimer };
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);
function gotoFrameOne() {
_root.gotoAndStop(1);
}
startTimer();
```

[AS]function startTimer() {
start = getTimer()/1000;
}
\_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
elapsedTime = Math.floor(getTimer()/1000-start);
(elapsedTime == 60) ? \_root.gotoAndStop(1) : trace(elapsedTime);
};
var mouseListener = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseDown = startTimer;
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);
startTimer();[/AS]
