I have a video player and I want to read the duration counter so that after say 5 seconds the video fades in some movie clips pauses for a few seconds then fades the movieclips out.

heres what i have so far as a test I have used gotoand play . If I insert this the movie does not reach 5 seconds but goes to frame 8 straight away. If I try a \< or == nothing happens ?

// Get video duration  
ns.onMetaData = function(obj) {  
duration = obj[“duration”];  
var minutes2:Number = Math.round(duration/60);  
var seconds2 = Math.round(duration%60);  
if (seconds2\<10) {  
seconds2 = “0”+seconds2;

```
	}
	if (seconds2&lt;5) {

```

gotoAndPlay(8);

}

```
	durationDisplay = minutes2+":"+seconds2;
};

```

};
