Timed Movie Clip

Is there any way to have a movie appear on the stage if a button is clicked and then dissapear after a specified time (lets say 5 seconds)?

Yes. I don’t know if this is the best way, but what I’d do is find out your FPS (frames per second) which i think can be seen in the properties panel, then set up like a counter for the movie clip like:

onClipEvent(enterframe){
counter++;
}

Then find out the amount of frames that equal 5 seconds, and say (under the same onClipEvent handler thing):

onClipEvent(enterframe){
if(counter == your number){
	 removeMovieClip(this);
}
}

That should help

Wow Joe, You are the man!
