i’m going to give this a shot…

i need to code something that will restart the movie (or go the the splash screen) after the mouse hasn’t moved for a certain period of time

i know i need an event listener to do this, but thats pretty much all i know.  
could someone help me out or point me in the right direction?

thanks!
