Here's another script using timeOut objects in a behavior that can be
attached to multiple sprites.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------
property spriteNum
property poTimeOut -- unique timeout object reference
property pnTimerLength -- length of timer expressed in milliseconds
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------
on beginsprite (me)
-- get a unique name to use as a reference to the timeout object
poTimeOut = string(me)
-- set timer length
pnTimerLength = 2000
-- create a timeout object
oTemp = timeout(poTimeOut).new(pnTimerLength , #doSomething, me)
end beginSprite
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------
on endSprite (me)
-- remove timout object|
me.removeTimeOutObject()
end endSprite
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------
on doSomething (me)
-- do something here
-- remove timout object|
me.removeTimeOutObject()
end doSomething
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------
on removeTimeOutObject (me)
-- remove timout object
timeout(poTimeOut).forget()
end removeTimeOutObject
