Hi people  
I am trying to make my .swf file start at a specific seconds of the minute.  
Example: If the whole clip started at 0-9th sec, i want it to start/execute soemthing at the 10th sec of my systems clock;  
if the whole clip started at 10-19th sec, i want it to start/execute soemthing at the 20th sec;  
Will appreciate it if some experts here can help me. Below is my code.  
Thanks!  
//–  
started = 0;  
secs = new Date().getSeconds();  
if (secs == 0) {  
started == 1;  
} else if (secs\>=1 && secs\<10) {  
started == 1;  
} else if (secs\>=10 && secs\<20) {  
started == 2;  
} else if (secs\>=20 && secs\<30) {  
started == 3;  
} else if (secs\>=30 && secs\<40) {  
started == 4;  
} else if (secs\>=40 && secs\<50) {  
started == 5;  
} else if (secs\>=50 && secs\<=59) {  
started == 6;  
}  
secs2 = new Date().getSeconds();  
if(started==1){  
if(i dont know what to put here){  
gotoAndPlay(“start”);  
}  
}  
else if(started==2){  
if(i dont know what to put here){  
gotoAndPlay(“start”);  
}  
}  
else if(started==3){  
if(i dont know what to put here){  
gotoAndPlay(“start”);  
}  
}  
else if(started==4){  
if(i dont know what to put here){  
gotoAndPlay(“start”);  
}  
}  
else if(started==5){  
if(i dont know what to put here){  
gotoAndPlay(“start”);  
}  
}  
else if(started==6){  
if(i dont know what to put here){  
gotoAndPlay(“start”);  
}
