Wow, okay. I’v been away from flash for so long that I have forgotten alot of material. I have so far been able to remember or reason out how to do most things, but I have been having problems causing a delay in my code from the main timeline. I have a function on the main timeline and I wanted it to have a 1-2 second delay before it follows through with the code everytime the function is called. Anyone mind giving me a hand?
