OK… 😛

Insert an empty MovieClip in the frame when you to stop the movie, open the Actions Panel and put this code on the MovieClip actions:  
[AS]onClipEvent (load) {  
this.\_parent.stop();  
seconds = 10;  
timer = getTimer();  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (getTimer()-timer\>seconds\*1000 && !redirected) {  
getURL(“[http://www.kirupa.com](http://www.kirupa.com)”, “\_self”);  
redirected = true;  
}  
}[/AS]
