I need a simple script that tells a keyframe to hold for x amount of seconds and then advance to the next scene.

How do I do this? Pointing me to a tut will be sufficient if anyone knows of one. Unfortunately, everything I have ran across has something else wrapped around it and I can’t decipher what I need from it.

Thanks in advance-
