Flash 8 Pro (AS2), Externally loaded Jpgs have artifacts
I dont know much. But you can just incorporate your menu into a function and use setTimer(myfunction,n).
n is the milliseconds. The setTimer code will do myfunction (which should be a custom function) exactly after n milliseconds. So if you specify 1000 for n, then the function will be called after a delay of 1 second.
Try using this in some way to delay your menu by 1 second, i have used this very successfully on several webpages and it works decently.
