Movieclip delay ?  
Hi Flashers

IN My main scene 1 have a movieclip that I want to loop (play several times), with a 10 second delay each times.

Right Now I have put 30 empty frames in the beginning of the movieclip and no stop script. But I believe there is a actionscript line I can use instead and get rid of these emty frames ?

And where do I put the code ?

You can use setInterval to pause the movie, read this thread for more detail. Hope it helps. =)
