Hi,

I have l logo animation but i don’t want it to play every time a user runs over it with mouse.  
I’d like it to start playing after the user has stayed on the banner for 1 second (30 frames in my case). So if the user leaves the logo before 1 second, the animation wouldn’t start.

Can it be done with actionscript? If so then how 🙂  
I use flash for tweened animations and am not familiar with programming languages. So a code examlpe (or a link to one) would be very welcome;)

The code to activate the animation is as follows:

this.mask\_mc.onRollOver = function()  
{  
\_root.logo\_mc.spin\_mc.play();  
\_root.logo\_mc.play();  
\_root.text\_mc.play();  
}

Cheers,  
Sven
