[quote] Ok, letting us know how much you know about actionscript would be handy as well. [quote]I was wondering if there is some kind of AS that can set a timer and/or set a trigger for a frame name/number without having to add a keyframe to trigger the retraction.[/quote] Really not sure what you're asking here. If you want to setup some kind of time delayed action (using the word trigger here is confusing as it has multiple meanings depending on the context, which hasn't been defined), you'll probably want to use a setInterval() that will unset itself after it's first called. In any event, you'll probably want to build that code into some kind of function or method that you can explicitly call from any point in the execution of the movie. But like I said before, I really don't understand what your're trying to do. If you want something to happen based on the location of the playhead in the timeline, then setting a frame action is the only way you should be doing it. After all what's the point of removing it from the timeline if the action revolves around happening at a particular time throughout the execution of the movie. That's what frame actions are for. Perhaps you could re-word the question to provide some kind of idea as to what it is you actually want to achive, rather than just describing what you think the solution to the problem is. Loading...
