on beginSprite me
tempVar = timeOut("test").new(500, #doSomething, me)
end beginSpriteYou need to set the returned value of that timeout("").new() to a variable, or you get hemorrhoids and excessive eye-booger production.

Well I'll be darned. Thanks to Bruce's DIAN and LIAN books I too was well aware that beginsSprite in frame 1 was called before startMovie, however why on earth would a timeout object triggered by a behavior attached to a sprite in frame one trigger extra startMovie events?
Yet another reason to avoid using frame one I suppose.
Anyway I tried attaching this behavior to multiple sprites in frame one:
on beginSprite me timeOut("test").new(500, #doSomething, me) end beginSprite
on doSomething me nothing end doSomething
And added this movie script:
on startMovie put "startMovie" end startMovie
For me I would only ever get two startMovie event calls regardless of how many sprites I attached the timeout script to. For curiosity sake Kerry, how are you managing to get 6 startMovie events triggering.
