I said earlier I'd post some timer code in response to Sreedhar's request.
This is really a better way than using the timer if you have D8.
First, wherever you want to start the timer--say in a mouseUp handler--you
do this:
timeout("myTimer").new(10000, #myHandler, me)
That creates a timeout object. After 10,000 milliseconds (10 seconds), it
will call a handler named myHandler. So, you need a handler:
on myHandler
go to frame the frame + 10 --or wherever you want to go
end myHandler
Timeouts are really easy to use, and quite reliable.
Cordially,
