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.

What  then is the timer used for?

If by timing, you mean the timer, no, I haven't. When you write interaction 
do you mean that there might be a conflict?

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?
