I`m using the code I found on here:

//stops the timeline  
stop();  
// moveOUT in ? seconds  
function moveOUT() {  
gotoAndPlay(“2”);  
}  
//4000 means 4 seconds .  
setTimeout(this, ‘moveOUT’, 2000);

but the timer doesnt work all of the time. I will change the seconds and some work some dont. Is there another method that works better? or is there something wrong with the code as I`m using Flash 8? Thanks,
