Hi Everyone,  
I know this is probably a simple fix, but I am not able to find it.  
I have a map that allows people to click on buttons and see addresses for certain properties. I have the addresses in a movie clip that resets after 12 seconds to blank. The problem I have is that when someone clicks on a different property, once one has been chosen, it doesn’t reset the timer on the addresses so they can disappear quickly.

This is my code.

```auto

function wait() {  
   addresses_mc.gotoAndStop("home")
}
myTimer = setInterval(wait, 12000);

```

I want to make it so that when a different address is chosen, i.e. a different frame in address\_mc that the interval timer resets back to 12 seconds.

Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,  
Jeremiah
