I’ve been looking for 2 days now all over Kirupa and the internet and I just can’t seem to find a direct answer to this issue… partially because of my lack of flash knowledge and lack of proper syntax knowledge.

What I have is a button that when you (rollOver) I need it to wait 2 seconds and then execute gotoAndPlay(“frameLabel”); - but if the user (rollOut) before the 2 seconds is up nothing happens and the timer stops.

Outside of simply making 2 seconds on the timeline and a bunch of gotoAndPlays, how can I execute this with actionscript 2? I’ve found a good example for AS3 but I’m unable to use AS3 for this project.

Any hints? Thanks much in advance.
