Is there an actionscript that tells a movie to gotoAndPlay after a few seconds.

There is a timer function. See any of the effect.txt files for finishing motion scripts like explode or zoom out.

The easyest way:
Insert 3 keyframes in front of the main movie loop.
Insert this script:

for keyframe 1:
del = n; ("n" = the delay,for example,if the speed is 30FPS, n = 30 for 1 second delay)

for keyframe 2:
del -= 1;

for keyframe 3:
if(del == 0){gotoAndPlay(4);}
else{gotoAndPlay(2);}

that's all !

You can also place this on a Movieclip- Simply convert a Frame to a one frame MC.

onclipevent(enterframe){
FPS= 12;
Wait= 5;
Delay= Wait * FPS;
Time +=1;
if( Time == Delay)
{
_parent.play();
Time=0;
}
}

Place a Stop Movie Action on the Frame you want the delay to be on.

Again set FPS to the Movies FPS and set Wait to the Wait you want in Seconds.

This is what I had in mind. Thanks.
