Thanks for the kind words.

The delay plug and play normally uses 2 statements (unless you want the

default 5 second delay). The first statement sets the delay, which is

set on the main timeline as in all of our Plug and Play routines.

      Set Variable: "Delay" = 10


When you call the routine  Call ("/Count:Up"),  the routine then looks

for the variable Delay on the main timeline and if it is there then it

uses it to set the delay time in seconds. If there is no variable

/:Delay then it uses a default 5 seconds for the delay.


   Set Variable: "Delay" = 10

       Call ("/Count:Up")
