Timing Frames

[micheal]

I am fairly new to actionscript and am trying to design a simple game.

What I need to do is find a way of determining how long a user has been on a particular question (i.e. frame) - if they have been looking at the same question for more than 10 secs I need it to go and play the welcome screen (i.e. end the game for the user).

Does anyone know how this can be done. I have been looking at getTimer() although this does not appear to be appropriate for monitoring particular frames.

Any ideas???

getTimer is what you need. check out the timerred events and delaying events tutorials in the intermediate section.
