hello…  
i’m made a delay function. The problem is that it does not work…

```auto

delay = function(s,fps) {
	tt=new Number(); tr=new Boolean();
	_root.onEnterFrame=function() {
		tt++;
		if (tt==s*fps) {
			tr=true;
		} else {
			tr=false;
		}
	}
	return tr;
}

```

i want the function to return true when s seconds have passed on a fps fps movieclip and false after and before. why doesn’t it work??
