Hello,  
I have an object that you can control with the arrow keys, and I also have another object that have this code:

```php
this._y = _root.object_mc._y
this._x = _root.object_mc._x

```

Alright, but I want my second object to wait one second before getting the same position as object\_mc, and when object\_mc moves again the second object will keep delaying one second before getting the new position.  
Is that possible?

Thanks.
