How do set a movie to play after 20 frames of starting another movie?

1

well, as u guessed i am a beginner. but i’m trying to start a text movie after something like 20 frames through a sound file

how can tell flash to start the text movie to do that?

also i’m creating the text in swish, so i was wondering if i can include a sound file with the text in swish…is it possible ?

thanks people , u 've been great :slight_smile:

Use an if statement to detect what frame it is on.

if (this._currentframe == 20){
 //do this
}

Where the //do this is, put the code that plays your other movie. I am not sure exactly hwo you have it set up so I don’t know exactly what do use.

…or you can just put something like this in frame20 of your soundMC:

_root.textMC.gotoAndPlay(2); //set your path and start code for text anim

when it hits frame 20, it’ll trigger your other animation…
