Hi, I have a problem with my flash file, I have a movieclip on the stage that plays with a stop action at the end (within the movie clip). The thing is I have a stop action at the end of the movieclip so it doesnt replay instantly, I would like the movieclip to replay after a random time prefferbly 10 seconds after playing. I tried the codes supplied in the forum but doesn’t work, any help?

- thanks
