**DISCLAIMER**  
I’ve just started to learn flash to fulfill a class assigment. This problem probably has a very easy answer, but I can’t find it and now I’m getting close to my deadline.  
\*\*  
PROLOGUE\*\*  
The title describes what actions I’m trying to put in a button.  
I’m making a quiz. Each keyframe has a pic and 4 buttons. The correct answer should show a green V onscreen; the wrong answer should show a red X. After one second, it jumps to a new question in a new keyframe.  
I’ve made the X and V as both 12-frame movieclips and 1-frame graphics on the library, but can’t seem to make them show up correctly.

**1st issue: showing the movie clip/graphic.**  
The movieclip/graphic should appear in the center of the stage _after_ you press the button.

Currently, the clip is there from the start; can’t find a way to make it start invisible, then visible when I click the button.

**2nd issue:**  **waiting 1 second before going to next frame.**  
I’ve tried using setInterval, but failed.  
Maybe the best way is to use a command that waits for the movieclip to play before making the jump?

**3rd issue:**  **jumping to a random frame inside a preset interval** (like frame 100-200)  
I think I got this one. Will ask for help, if needed, after I clear the two issues above.

**IMPORTANT:** I’m using Flash 8.
