actually here’s something that might work

```auto

on(release,press){
_root.credit_time = getTimer()
}

```

and on a loop somewhere you might add

```auto

if (_root.credit_time + 20000 <= getTimer()){
fscommand("quit");
}

```

id have to check though…

or you could use setInterval… 😉

```auto
setInterval(function(){fscommand("quit");}, 20000);

```
