Depends on your framerate. If you’re using the default of 12 fps, then it’s 12 frames per second and 12\*60 (I’m too lazy) per minute.

In the actionscript, set the
m = 10;
to however manyminutes you want.

I think there might be a way of using getTimer() which would also be useful, I dont know if the frame rate is constant, ie when large jpgs load maybe its slows it down, however im not sure… I’ll try to post my own little fla if I have time…
