Bryce's answer of using beginSprite is definitely the key. But
rather than use a startTimer, I would just do something like this (in
a frame script):
property pEndTicks
property pnSeconds
on getPropertyDescriptionList
lDescription = [:]
addProp(lDescription,#pnSeconds,[\
#Default:1,\
#Format:#Integer,\
#range: [#min:1, #max:50],\
#Comment:"Wait for how many seconds?"])
return lDescription
end getPropertyDescriptionList
on beginSprite me
pEndTicks = the ticks + (pnSeconds * 60)
end
on exitFrame me
if the ticks < pEndTicks then
go to the frame
end if
-- by default, when the time is up, it will go to the frame + 1
end
