[font=Arial][size=3]I’m adding a sound to an over button.[/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=3]Is it possible to delay the sound playing?[/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=3]What I would like is for the sound to play .5 of a second ‘after mouse over’: that is - if the mouse stay on the over state for longer that .5 of a second.[/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=3]I’m hoping to avoid triggering sound when the mouse moves over the button accidentally[/size].[/font]
