Hey,

I have looked all over, but I cannot find an example of this. I have a kiosk movie, and I want it to return to Frame 1 if no one uses it for a couple minutes. Does anyone have any idea how to do this? Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I`m not sure what a kiosk movie is, but something like this might work

function init() {  
oldX = this.\_xmouse;  
oldY = this.\_ymouse;  
}  
init();  
function checkMousemove() {  
if (this.\_xmouse == oldX && this.\_ymouse == oldY) {  
clearInterval(myInterval);  
gotoAndStop(1);  
} else {  
oldX = this.\_xmouse;  
oldY = this.\_ymouse;  
//you might want to clearInterval here and put the setInterval in a startbutton press or something.  
}  
}

myinterval = setInterval(checkMousemove, 120000);
