I'm still struggling with timeOut and timeLength concepts and my brain has gone to
mush (sorry).
In my no startmovie script I have added:
the timeOutLength=15*60
the timePutScript="myTimeOutHandler"
and
on myTimeOutHandler -- a movie script
if random (2)=2 then
go tgo frame 230
else
if randpm = (2)=2 then
go to frame 185
else go to frame 141
end else
end else
end
Now this seems to be working for the moment !!!! but is there a way to
diable/forget (Idon't know the correct terminology) the timeOut script. I don't
want any more, no matter how long between mouseclicks, for "myTimeOutHandler" to
be executed. Is there a way to do this - or am I approaching this from the wrong
angle entirely. Any advice would be greatly treasured. TYhanks again
