screen saver sort of thing

[oepzilon]

is there a way to tell a movie to go a place after a period of time
of mouse idle, sort of like a screen saver thing.. ok well thank you in advance if this is possible

You could probably wrap this up in a class to make it pretty, but this will do the job.

_level0.start = getTimer();
_level0.lastx = 0;
_level0.lasty = 0;
_level0.idletime = 5000; // desired idle time in seconds * 1000

_root.onEnterFrame = function() {

	if (_root._xmouse != _level0.lastx) {
		_level0.lastx = _root._xmouse;
		_level0.start = getTimer();
	}

	if (_root._ymouse != _level0.lasty) {
		_level0.lasty = _root._ymouse;
		_level0.start = getTimer();
	}
	
	if (getTimer() - _level0.start > _level0.idletime) {
		trace("mouse has been idle for " + idletime);
		_level0.start = getTimer(); // reset idle timer
	}

}
