as regards to the transitions tut at [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions2.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions2.htm) …

1. If you want the first section to load automatically when entering the site, place this code at the frame of the main timeline at which you want the first section to show, and replace your\_first\_section\_name by the name of the first section:

```
_root.currMovie = "your_first_section_name";
container.loadMovie(_root.currMovie+".swf");

```

… i would like to delay it’s progress in the main timeline by 10 seconds… what do i add? :ear:

thanks
