How To Autoplay after 5 seconds.

[miikee]

Hello There,

I'm quite new to the flash, but i started one website and i really want to get it done...

i have a flash file that has the "buttons" to go the next "scene" but what i would really like is to add timer so after 5 seconds if i dont click the "next" button it will move to another scene/frame,

To make it easy to understand, i will upload my fla file, if someone knows how to do it feel free to edit the fla and send it to me (im asking to much ) ??

Im using macromedia flash pro 8 to edit this file.

THNX A LOT.

Why not just take a look at your FPS ((lets say it was 12))

What your FPS means is Frames Per Second, so 12 FPS means 12 frames pass by in 1 second

Furthermore
12 x 5 = 60

So by adding 60 frames you will have a very basic way of "Auto" play

((For this to work you wont be able to use "Stop ()" ))

On your frame, add this:

function autoPlay(){
    play(); // or do something else
}

myInterval = setTimeout(autoPlay, 1000);

if they click on a button, use this code to eliminate the interval:

clearInterval(myInterval);

Hope this helps
