I have an action scrip command to stop. This basically loops the ending of my movie clips. I was wondering if I could have my stop go for maybe 7 secs then go to the next frame\r\rIs that possible?\r\rcodemaster\r[codemaster@farnova.com](mailto:codemaster@farnova.com)

Check out Macromedias Flash Exchange where you can free extensions; there’s one called s’thing like “wait a frame” or the like, maybe it’s what you need…

I think that there are also a couple of posts in the Flash section related to “timers”. These might help a bit as well… if you were looking to say, wait 5 seconds and then continue

It’s possible, Supra gave the code for that a while ago. You can find everything you need \here\\r\rpom 0]
