Hey 🐇 ,

I was wondering how would disable the mouse for the first 3 seconds of a movie and then enable it using AS not on the timeline?

Don`t think you can disable the mouse but you can hide it.I am guessing by “not on the timeline” you mean you dont want the code spread over a lot of frames.  
first frame  
function mousecome() {  
clearInterval(int2);  
Mouse.show();  
}  
function mousego() {  
clearInterval(int1);  
Mouse.hide();  
int2 = setInterval(mousecome, 3000);  
}  
int1 = setInterval(mousego, 10);
