I said earlier I'd post some timer code in response to Sreedhar's request. This is really a better way than using the timer if you have D8. First, wherever you want to start the timer--say in a mouseUp handler--you do this: timeout("myTimer").new(10000, #myHandler, me) That creates a timeout object. After 10,000 milliseconds (10 seconds), it will call a handler named myHandler. So, you need a handler: on myHandler go to frame the frame + 10 --or wherever you want to go end myHandler Timeouts are really easy to use, and quite reliable.
