Timer

[matteh]

Hi peeps!
I need a actionscript script so i can time 60 seconds then it goes to a different frame. Please give me some help. If its not AS please can you tell me how to do it.

Thanks

onClipEvent (load)
{
delayInMilliseconds = 6000;
timeStamp = getTimer() + delayInMilliseconds;
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
if (getTimer() > timeStamp)
{
_root.gotoAndPlay(23);
}
}

getTimer() returns the time in milliseconds since the SWF-started playing
You will need to put this code in a movieclip, or replace onClipEvent(enterFrame) with an intervall. (press F1, search for it)

Ok.... ive put that on a movieclip, but how do i make it go to a different frame after the 60 seconds?

EDIT: Also, if i just put itg in, it comes up with this error

----------------------------------------------------------------
timeStamp) //is current time larger than the stamp? { gotoAndStop(differentFrame); }}

Sorry, I didn't think that far ahead. ^^

The code I gave you would jump the movieclip's timeline to differentFrame. If that's what you want to to, you will have to name a frame (look in the properties pane) and replace differentFrame with that name. You can also just send the frame number;

gotoAndPlay(60); //jumps this MC to frame 60


If you want to move along the main timeline, I think you can do this;

_root.gotoAndPlay(60); //jumps to frame 60 on main timeline?

You can't have code on the same line as the comment.
Also, you have to define differentFrame before using it;

differentFrame = 60;

or perhaps

differentFrame = "framename"

Im pretty new to flash so im not sure if thats what i want. All i want is a timer that lasts 60 seconds then goes to frame 23. It would be usefull if you could give me something that I could just put straight in.
Thanks

EDIT: Ive done everything youve said for the original code, but it doesnt go after 60 seconds
