Hi,
Thanks Colin and Irv for your explanations. Yes, the beginSprite was in a movie script. I amended this to a behavior script but still the movie could not run. >Don't use the timer for something like this - because there is only one of >this kind of timer available. What then is the timer used for? > If you are doing timing somewhere else in your program, then there might > be an interaction. If by timing, you mean the timer, no, I haven't. When you write interaction do you mean that there might be a conflict? >Instead, set up your own timing with either using either ticks or >milliseconds, e.g, > >property pEndTicks > >on beginSprite me > pEndTicks = the ticks + (2*60) -- two seconds from now >end > >on endSprite me > if the ticks < pEndTicks then > go to the frame > end if >end I used your code but when I tried to run the movie, the playback head jumped to frame 140 from frame 1 and stopped there. All the code prior to frame 140 still did not execute . Why is that?
