Sounds like an awfully inelegant solution. 240 frames of nothing.Is there

nothing in Flash that keeps an eye on time ( for example, Director's ticks

which equal 1/60 sec.) . I think this is what Russ was getting at and something

I was wondering about as well. I am looking for a way to keep the head on a

frame for 2-4 seconds after the completion of an MC and then have it move to

the nextf rame, automatically.
